PREFACE. 
 
 In the Introduction to this Dictionary, may be found remarks on ortho- 
 epy or pronunciation, orthography, etymology or the derivation of words, 
 grammEir, archaisms, provincialisms, Americanisms, and on various other 
 points of philology and lexicography, and also explanations of the principles 
 adopted in the preparation of the work. Prefatory observations are also pre- 
 fixed to the enlarged edition of Walker's " Key," inserted in this volume, and 
 likewise to the Pronouncing Vocabulary of Modern Geographical Names. To 
 these several introductory pages the reader is referred for various explanations 
 and remarks, which it is unnecessary here to repeat. 
 
 In relation to etymology, or the derivation of English words, the general 
 rule which has been followed is, to give the etymons of such words as are 
 derived from languages foreign to the English, namely, the Greek, Latin, 
 French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, <fcc. The Anglo- 
 Saxon being the mother tongue of the English, and the greater part of the 
 English words which are of most frequent occurrence being derived from 
 that language, with more or less change of their orthography, the etymology 
 of these words of Anglo-Saxon origin is, for the most part, omitted.. 
 
 Much attention has been bestowed on the subject of orthoepy or pronuncia- 
 tion ; and, with regard to words of various, doubtful, or disputed pronunciation, 
 the authorities for the diiferent modes are exhibited ; so that this Dictionary 
 will show the reader in what manner these words are pronounced by all the 
 most eminent English orthoepists. With respect to words variously pro- 
 nounced, Walker says, " The only method of knowing the extent of custom 
 in these cases, seems to be an inspection of those dictionaries which professedly 
 treat of pronunciation. We have now so many works of this kind, that the 
 general current of custom, with respect li the sound of words, may be col- 
 lected from them with almost as much certainty as the general sense of words 
 from Johnson. An exhibition of the opinions of orthoepists about the sound 
 of words, always appeared to me a very rational method of determining what 
 is called custom. This method I have adopted." The method thus counte- 
 nanced by Walker has been pursued, in this Dictionary, much further 
 than he had the means of doing it, inasmuch as most of the works 
 which are made use of, as the principal authorities, have been published 
 since his time. With respect to many of the words about the pronunciatiou

 of which orthoepisis differ, it is difficult to decide which mode is to be pie 
 ferred ; and it is not to be supposed that the mode for which the Conipilei 
 nas indicated a preference, will, in all cases, be esteemed the best ; but when 
 it is not, the reader will find the mode which he may prefer, supported bv 
 its proper authority. 
 
 About twenty years since, the Compiler edited " Johnson's Dictionary, 
 MS improved by Todd, and abridged by Chalmers, with Walker's Pronouncing 
 Dictionary combined ; " and while executing that task, he formed the plan 
 of his small work, entitled, " A Comprehensive Pronouncing and Explanatory 
 Dictionary of the English Language ; " but before completing this latter 
 work, he was induced to undertake the labor of making the octavo abridg- 
 ment of Dr. Webster's "American Dictionary of the English Language.' 
 These tasks of editing and abridging were performed in accordance with 
 certain principles and rules laid down by the publishers of the former work 
 md by the author of the latter ; and as to the selection of words, their or- 
 thography, etymology, pronunciation, or definition, or as to any want of con- 
 sistency of the two works with each other, the Editor and Abridger had no re- 
 sponsibility, further than was implied by the rules prescribed for his guidance. 
 
 After beginning the preparation of his " Comprehensive Dictionary," the 
 Compiler adopted the practice of recording all the English words which he 
 met with, used by respectable authors, and not found in Todd's edition of 
 Johnson's Dictionary. This practice was continued with a view to provide 
 the means of improving the " Comprehensive Dictionary." But he found the 
 words which were not registered in any dictionary more numerous than he 
 anticipated, and, his collection having accumulated beyond his expectation, 
 he at length formed the design of preparing a new and larger dictionary, 
 which should contain as complete a vocabulary of the language as he should 
 he able to make. 
 
 The Dictionary of Johnson, as corrected and enlarged by Todd, and 
 Walker's Critical Pronouncing Dictionary, have been made, in some degree, 
 ;he basis of the present work ; but the words found in those dictionaries have 
 oeen revised with much labor and care, in relation to their orthography, pro- 
 nunciation, etymology, definition, &c. ; and a great part of them, especially 
 such as relate to the arts and sciences, have been defined entirely anew. 
 Such of the words found in Todd's Johnson as are in common use, familiar 
 to all who read and speak the language, and with regard to the propriety 
 and use of which there can be no doubt, are, for the most part, left without 
 any cited authority ; but for such words as are obsolete, antiquated, rare, pro- 
 vincial, local, or disputable, the authorities found in Johnson's Dictionary 
 (ire retained, and many not found there have been added. 
 
 To the words found in Todd's edition of Johnson's Dictionary, nearly 
 
 27,000 more have been added, and for all these, authorities are given, except a 
 
 *ew, such as the participial adjectives amusing, entertaining, established, &c., 
 
 or which authorities would be useless. All the verbs of the language that 
 
PRI FACE. V 
 
 we often met wilh, both regular and irregular, are conjugated ; and tlie 
 pretfirits and 'perfect participles of the irregular verbs are inserted separately 
 in their alphabetical places ; but of the regular verbs, the present and perfect 
 participles ending in in^ and ed are not inserted as separate articles. If this 
 had been done, as it has been in several other dictionaries, it would have 
 added upwards of ten thousand more articles to the vocabulary ; which wc uld 
 have considerably increased the size of the volume, without materially in- 
 creasing its value. 
 
 To the words now added to the vocabulary, and not found in Todd's 
 Johnson, an asterisk has been annexed ; and it will be seen that, on many of 
 the pages, more than half of the words are of this description. The newly 
 added words have been collected from a great variety of sources. The tech- 
 nical and scientific terms have generally been taken from scientific works, 
 or from dictionaries of the various arts and sciences ; as Brande's " Diction- 
 ary of Science, Literature, and Art ; " Ure's " Dictionary of Arts, Manufac 
 tures, and Mines ; " Crabb's " Technological Dictionary ; " Falconer's " Ma- 
 rine Dictionary;" Dunglison's "Medical Dictionary;" Bouvier's "Law 
 Dictionary;" Loudon's " Encyclopasdias ; " the "Penny Cyclopasdia ; " and 
 many other dictionaries of the different arts and sciences, and various en- 
 cyclopasdias, the titles of Avhich are to be found in the Catalogue of works 
 of this kind, in the Introduction of this volume. The greater part of the 
 miscellaneous words have been collected by the Compiler in the course of his 
 reading during many years. A considerable number of words have been 
 taken from several English dictionaries, particularly those of Ash, Richard- 
 son, and Smart. With respect to Webster's Dictionary, which the Com- 
 piler several years since abridged, he is not aware of having taken a single 
 word, or the definition of a word, from that work, in the preparation of this ; 
 but in relation to words of various or disputed pronunciation, Webster's au- 
 thority is often cited in connection with that of the English orthoepists. — . 
 The Rev. Dr. William Allen, late President of Bowdoin College, having, jt', 
 the course of his reading, collected several thousand words not found in any 
 dictionary, favored the Compiler with the use of his manuscript, who, on 
 comparing it with his own collection, obtained between fourteen and fifteen 
 hundred additional words, which have been inserted. — The authorities cited 
 for the miscellaneous words are mostly English ; and in many instances the 
 names of English authors have. been chosen in preference to the names of 
 American authors of equal or even higher respectability; inasmuch as it is 
 satisfactory to many readers to know, in relation to a new, uncommon, or 
 doubtful word, that it is not peculiar to American writers, but that a respect- 
 able English authority may be adduced in support of its use. 
 
 A dictionary which is designed to be a complete glossary to all English 
 books that are now read, must contain many words which are obsolete, and 
 many which are low or unworthy of being countenanced. Many of the 
 words which have been inserted by the Compiler, and still more of thosw 
 
 (A*) 
 
ri PREFACt. 
 
 which weie admitted by Johnson Eind Todd, no ■writer of good taste would 
 now be likely to use. The Compiler has not, indeed, inserted all the words 
 which he has found used by respectable writers ; yet he apprehends that ht 
 shall be more censured for being too liberal, rather than too exclusive, in his 
 views respecting the admission of words into a dictionary. He has deemed 
 it advisable to insert a considerable number of words of very questionable 
 propriety, found in respectable works, with the name of the author as the 
 authority ; for it is believed that it will be satisfactory to many readers, when 
 they meet with a rare or disputable word, to be able to turn to a dictionary 
 and see by what other writer it may have been used. 
 
 Much care has been taken to note such words as are technical, foreign, 
 obsolete or antiquated, local or provincial, low or exceptionable. The gram- 
 matical forms and inflections of words have been given more fully than 
 ever before in any English dictionary ; and brief critical notes on the 
 orthography, the pronunciation, the grammatical form and construction, and 
 the peculiar, technical, local, provincial, and American uses of words, are 
 scattered throughout the volume ; but among such a multiplicity of matters, 
 it will doubtless be found that many things have been neglected or unsatis- 
 factorily treated. The limits of the work, indeed, are not such as to admit of 
 the discussion of every doubtful point, or of as much verbal criticism as would 
 be necessary to settle the relative merits of every doubtful word. The design 
 has been to give the greatest quantity of useful matter in the most condensed 
 form, and to specify, as far as practicable, authorities in doubtful or disputed 
 cases. 
 
 There are many English dictionaries, of various degrees of merit, now in 
 use ; and it may be thought not desirable to increase the number. But the 
 Compiler, encouraged by the manner in whicti his small work had been re- 
 ceived, undertook the preparation of this larger one, with the hope that he 
 might be able to give it some peculiar characteristics which would render it not 
 wholly unacceptable or useless to the public. Though not without experience 
 in labor of this sort, he was not, perhaps, when he formed the design, suffi- 
 ciently impressed with the arduousness of his undertaking or the insufficiency 
 of his qualifications ; of both of which he has had abundant and constant 
 occasion to be sensible. No amount of labor or compass of knowledge can 
 render an English dictionary faultless ; and this is doubtless susceptible of 
 many and great improvements. Yet, defective as it is, it has cost the Com- 
 piler no trifling labor to bring it to its present state, of which some evidence 
 may be apparent to any one who will examine it. He therefore submits it to 
 an impartial public, with no high claims or sanguine expectations, yet with 
 the hope that it will not be adjudged entirely destitute of merit, either in 
 its plan or in its execution.

PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION 
 
 REJIARKS ON THE KEY. 
 
 1. The words which are used in the preced- 
 ing K )y, as examples for illustrating the several 
 lound i, exhibit accurately, when pronounced by 
 eorrect speakers, the different sounds of the 
 respective letters. Some distinctions are here 
 made which are not found in moat other systems 
 of notation ; they are, however, not intended to 
 introduce any new sounds, but merely to dis- 
 criminate such as are now heard from all who 
 speak the language with propriety. 
 
 2. When the marks of pronunciation are 
 affixed to words in their proper ortliography, 
 in this Dictionary, without respelling them, the 
 vowels which are not marked are silent: thus 
 a in beat, hear; e in able, give, h&rden; i in 
 paxn, heifer ; o in mason, famous ; u in fur- 
 lough ; and w in follow, are not sounded. 
 
 3. The system of notation which is here used, 
 while it makes a very exact discrimination of 
 the different sounds of the letters, will be readily 
 understood and easily applied to practice ; and 
 it will also be much more easily remembered, 
 than a system in which the vowels are marked 
 with figures. By applying the marks to the 
 letters of the words in their proper orthogTaphy, 
 the necessity of respelling most of them has 
 keen avoided ; and in this way much space has 
 Keen saved, while the pronunciation is fixed with 
 as much exactness as if the spelling of every 
 word had been repeated. 
 
 4. It is an advantage of this method of nota- 
 tion, that it distinguishes the syllables which 
 receive a secondary accent, or are pronounced 
 with a distinct sound of the vowels, from those 
 which are but slightly or indistinctly sounded. 
 A great part of the words of the English lan- 
 guage that have more than two syllables, have 
 more than one syllable in some degree accented, 
 or pronounced more distinctly than the rest ; yet 
 this difference in distinctness is not made appar- 
 ent by the usual modes of marking the words. 
 In this notation, the vowels in the syllables 
 which have either the primary or secondary ac- 
 cent, have a mark placed over them denoting 
 a distinct sound ; while those which are more 
 feebly uttered have a dot placed under them. 
 Take, for example, the following words, which 
 are thus noted: sun'shine, pd'per, dn'ec-dote, 
 ear-q-van', M'er-ql, mdn-i-fes-td'tiqn, In-dirvis-i- 
 Wi-ty. In these words, it will be readily per- 
 ceived, that all the vowels which have a mark 
 placed over them have a distinct sound, or are 
 ■nore or less accented, while those which have a 
 
 dot under them are but slightly or mcBtinctlj 
 sounded ; and that the pronunciation is as clearly 
 represented to the eye in their proper orthogra- 
 phy, as it is, in otlier methods of notation, by 
 respelling the words. 
 
 5. There are many cases in which the vowels 
 are pronounced with so slight a degree of dis- 
 tinctness, tliat it may be a matter of indifferen.v 
 whether they are marked with the distinct or 
 indistinct sound ; as, for example, the last syOa- 
 ble of the words consonant, diffident, feebleness, 
 and obvious, might, with nearly equal propriety, 
 have the vowels marked with a short or an indis- 
 tinct sound. 
 
 SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS. 
 
 6. The first, or long, sound of each of tha 
 vowels marked thus, d, e, i, o, it, is styled its al' 
 phabetic or name sound, being the sound which 
 is heard in Daming the letter. — The sound of 
 the letter y, when used as a vowel, is the same 
 as that of i; but as a vowel, it begins no 
 properly English word. 
 
 7. The long sound of the vowels is generally 
 indicated, in monosyllables, by a silent e at the 
 end of the word, preceded by a single conso 
 nant, as in fate, mete, pine, note, tube, type. 
 The following words, however, are exceptions 
 namely, liave, are, and bade, the preterit of to bid. 
 The vowels have regularly the long sound if 
 final in an accented syllable, as in ba'sis, Ugal, 
 trial, sono'rous, cu'bic, ty'rant. 
 
 8. The second, or short, sound of the vowels w 
 generally indicated, in monosyllables, by tiiu 
 absence of mute e at the end of the word, as 
 in fat, met, pin, not, tub, hyp. It is also the 
 usual sound of a vowel in an accented syllable 
 which ends with a consonant, as in aban'don, 
 atten'tive, exhiVit, lacon'ic, reludtant, lyr'icaL 
 
 9. The fourth sound of the vowels, a, e, t. 
 0, and u, and the third sound of y, (called, wita 
 respect to e, i, u, and y, short and obtuse,) marke(< 
 thus, d, e, i, 5, u, y, is the short sound of thtse 
 several vowels, when, in a monosyllable or in an 
 accented syllable, they are succeeded by r finai, 
 or by r followed by some other consonant ; as, 
 far, hard ; her, herd ; fir, firkin ; nor, north ; fur, 
 burden ; myrrh, myrtle. Some orthoepists make 
 no distinction between the sound indicated by 
 this mark and the proper short sound of theiw 
 vowels ; others make a distinction in relation to a 
 part of them only. The vowels having this mark 
 are pronounced with as short a souna as the* 
 
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS 
 
 readJy receive when thus situated. The pecu- 
 liar character of this sound, which distinguishes 
 tt. from the proper short sound of the vowels, is 
 caused by the letter r ; and this letter, thus sit- 
 aated, has an analogous influence on the sound 
 of all the vowels. The difierence between the 
 sound of the vowels when thus situated, and their 
 proper short sound, will be readily perceived by 
 the following examples ; as, man, marrow ; m&r, 
 mart; — men, merry; her, merchant; — fin, mir- 
 ror ; fir, niirth; — not, borrow; nor, border; — 
 tun, hiirry ; fiir, hurdle. There is little or no 
 difference in the sounds of the vowels e, i, u, 
 and y, when under this mark ; as, her, fir, fiir, 
 myrrh ; but tlinir proper short sounds are widely 
 different when followed by r, as well as by other 
 consonants, as in merry, mirror, hurry. — See re- 
 marks on the sound of the letter R, page xviii. 
 
 10. Vowels marked with the dot or period 
 underneath, thus, a, e, i, g, u, y, are found only 
 .n syllables which are not accented, and over 
 which tlie organs of speech pass slightly and 
 hastily in pronouncing the words in which they 
 are found. This mark is employed rather to 
 indicate a slight stress of ivoice, than to note 
 any particular quality of sound. If the sylla- 
 bles on which the primary and secondary ac- 
 cents fall, are uttered with a proper stress of 
 voice, these comparatively indistinct syllables 
 will naturally be pronounced right. In a ma- 
 jority of cases, this mark may be regarded 
 as indicating an indistinct short sound of the 
 vowels ; as in tenable, mental, travel, peril, idol, 
 forum, carry ; but in many cases it indicates a 
 slight or unaccented long sound, as in carbonate, 
 sulphate, ebony, follower, educate, regulate, con- 
 gratulate. The letter u, in the last three words, 
 is pronounced like yu, slightly articulated. The 
 vowels with this mark have, in some situations, 
 particularly in the last syllable of words ending 
 with r, no perceptible difference of sound ; as 
 in friar, speaker, nadir, actor, sulphur, zephyr. 
 
 A. 
 
 11. The thrd sound of the letter a, marked 
 thttSi a, is its long sound qualified by being fol- 
 lowed by the letter r ; as in care, fare, pare. The 
 diphthong ai, followed by r, has precisely the 
 same sound, as in fair, pair; so also, in some 
 cases, has the diphthong ea, as in hear, pear. 
 There is obviously a difference in the sound of 
 a in these words, as they are pronounced by 
 rfood speakers, and its sound in pain and fate. 
 There is the same difference between the sound 
 of o in the word pair, and its sound in the word 
 
 payer, one who pays ; also in the word prayer, a 
 petition, and in the word prayer, one who prays. 
 
 12. The ffth sound of a, marked thus, &, is 
 an intermediate sound of this letter, between ita 
 short sound, as in fat, man, and its Italian 
 sound, as in far, father. With respect to the 
 class of words, which, in this Dictionary, have 
 this mark, there is much diversity among orthoS- 
 pists. Most of these words, by Nares, Jones, 
 and Perry, are marked with the Italian sound, as 
 in^ar a.nd father; but Walker and Jameson mark 
 them, or most of them, with the short sound, as 
 a in fat, man ; Pulton and Knight mark them aa 
 being intermediate between the short and the 
 Italian sound ; and Smart, though he gives a in 
 most of these words the short mark, says, in re- 
 lation to it, " There is, in many words, a dispo- 
 sition to broadness in the vowel not quite in 
 unison with the mode of indication, as may be 
 perceived in an unaffected pronunciation of 
 grass, graft, command. This broadness is a de- 
 cided vulgarism when it identifies tlie sound 
 with a. The exact sound lies between the one 
 indicated and the vulgar corruption." 
 
 The following words belong to this class : — 
 advance cast ghastly pass 
 
 advantage castle glance passive 
 
 after chaff glass past 
 
 aghast chandler graff pasture 
 
 alexander chance graft pastor 
 
 alabaster class grant pilaster

 13. The letter e has, in several words, the 
 same sound as a in fare ; as in heir, there, 
 where ; but were is properly pronounced wSr. In 
 clerk and sergeant, it has, according to most or- 
 thoepists, the sound of a in dark and margin.-'

 PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 14. When e precedes I or ra in an unaccented 
 final syllabli;, m some words it has an indis- 
 tinct short sound, and in some it is entirely 
 suppressed. It is sounded in flannel, travel, 
 vessel, chicken, sudden, woollen, &c. ; and it is 
 suppressed in drivel, grovel, hearken, hMven, &c. 
 
 15. The letter e is generally suppressed in 
 the preterits of verbs, and in participles ending 
 in erf, when the e is not preceded by rf or / ; 
 as, feared, praised, admired, tossed, suppressed, 
 nronounced feard, praisd, admird, tost, supprest. 
 
 16. The long sound of the letter i is heard 
 not only in monosyllables ending with a mute e, 
 as in Jile, time, &.C., but also in the word pint, 
 and in the words child, mild, mid ; also in bind, 
 blind, find, hind, kind, mind, rind, &c. 
 
 17. There is a class of words, mostly derived 
 from the French and Italian languages, in wliich 
 i retains the sound of long e ; as, ambergris, an- 
 tique, bombazine, brazil, capivi, capuchin, caprice, 
 chagrin, chevaux-de-frise, critique, frize, gabar- 
 dine, haberdine, quarantine, ravine, routine, fas- 
 cine, fatigue, intrigue, invalid, machine, magazine, 
 marine, palanquin, pique, police, recitative, man- 
 darine, tdbourine, tambourine, tontine, transma- 
 rine, ultramarine, verdigris. In the word shire, 
 i commonly has the same sound ; and some also 
 give it the same in oblige and oblique. — See 
 Oblige and Oblkjue. 
 
 18. In words which terminate in He and ine, 
 with the accent on the penultimate syllable, the i 
 in the final syllable is generally short ; aa,feii.ile, 
 hostile, adamantine, intestine, &c. The follow- 
 ing are exceptions : edile, exile, gerdHe, pentUe, 
 feline, ferine, confine, and a few others. Also 
 when the accent is on the antepenult, words 
 ending in He generally have the i short ; as, 
 juvenile, puerile, &c. ; but it is long in chamo- 
 mile, reconcile, eolipile, infantile. 
 
 19. With respect to words ending in ine, 
 and having the accent on the antepenultimate, 
 there is much uncertainty as to the quantity 
 of i ; and in relation to a number of such words 
 there is much disagreement among orthoepists ; 
 yet the general rule inclines to the long sound 
 of i in the termination of this class of words. 
 In the following words, i, in the last syllable, is 
 generally pronounced long: adulterine, almadine, 
 xrmentine, asinine, belluine, Mzantine, brigantine, 
 •xainabine, colubrine, columbine, celandine, concu- 
 ■ine, couniermine, coralline, crystalline, eglantine, 
 
 gating, leonine, metalline, muscadine, porcupine, 
 uxharine, aapphirine, saturnine, serpentine, tur 
 
 peniine, uterine, vespertine, mperine, vituline.— 
 In the folloT^ing words, i, in the last syllable^ 
 is short : discipline, feminine, genuine, heroine, 
 hyaline, jessamine, libertine, masculine, medicine, 
 nectarine, palatine. With respect to alkaline, 
 aquiline, as well as some others, the orthoepists, 
 as well as usage, are divided. In the termina- 
 tion ine of a class of chemical words, the i is 
 short ; as, fluorine, iodine, nepheline, &c. In the 
 termination ite, the i is sometimes short, as in 
 respite, granite, favorite, irijinite, &c. ; and some- 
 times long, as in expedite, appetite, satellite, &c. 
 In a class of gentile nouns, and appellatives, 
 formed from proper names, it is long ; as, Hivite, 
 Widiffite ; also, generally, in names of minerals ; 
 as, augite, steatia, tremolite. 
 
 20. When i ends an initial syllable without 
 the accent, and the succeeding syllable begins 
 with a consonant, the i is generally short or in 
 distinct, as if written e, as in civility, divine, 
 finance ; but the exceptions to this rule are 
 numerous, among which are biquadrate, chirog 
 raphy, biography, divaricate, librarian, primeval, 
 tribunal, vitality, and many others, in which the 
 I is pronounced long. There is also a con- 
 siderable number of words with regard to which 
 there is a diversity, in relation to the pronun- 
 ciation of the i, among orthoepists and in usage 
 as, dilate, diverge, virago, &c. 
 
 O. 
 
 21. There is a class of words ending in j 
 ft, ss, st, and th, in which o is marked with the 
 short sound in most pronouncing dictionaries, 
 though some ortlioepists give it the sound of 
 broad a, as in fall. Mr. Nares gives the sound 
 of broad a to o in the following words : off, 
 often, offer, coffee, scoff, aloft, loft, soft, cross, 
 loss, toss, cost, frost, lost, tost, broth, cloth, froth, 
 cough, and trough. To these some others might, 
 with equal propriety, be added ; as, offspring, 
 dross, gloss, moss, moth, leroth. Mr. Smart 
 remarks, "that before ss, st, and th, the letter 
 is frequently sounded dw ; as in moss, gloss, 
 &c., lost, cost, &.C., broth, cloth, &c. This 
 practice is analogous to the broad utterance 
 which the letter a [short] is liable to receive 
 before certain consonants ; [see A, page xi. ;] 
 and the same remarks will apply in the present 
 case, as to the one referred to, namely, that, 
 though the broad sound is vulgar, there is an 
 affectation in a palpable effort to avoid it in 
 words where its use seems at one time to have 
 been general. In such cases, a med um be- 
 tween the extremes is the practice of (he Iwfgt 
 
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS AND DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 HieaKers." The sound of o is also somewhat 
 prolonged m gone and begone, and in some 
 words ending in ng ; as, hng, prong, song, 
 strong, thong, throng, wrong. 
 
 23. There are a few words in which o has 
 the same sound as u in hull, or as oo in good; 
 namely, bosom, wolf, woman, Wolsey, Wolver- 
 hampton. It has the sound of short u in done, 
 son, &c. ; and the sound of ii (as in hurt) in 
 word, work, worth, &c. 
 
 23. ]n many words ending m on, the sound 
 of o IS suppressed, as in bacon, pardon, weapon, 
 ttason, cotton, &c. 
 
 U. 
 
 24. With respect to the manner of designating 
 the sound of the vowel u when it comes imme- 
 diately after the accent, as in the words educate, 
 nature, natural, &c., there is much diversity 
 among orthoepists. By Walker, the pronun- 
 ciation of Educate is thus noted — ed'jii-kdt; 
 by Sheridan, Jones, Enfield, Fulton, and Jame- 
 son, thus — ed'u-kdt ; and by Perry, Knowles, 
 Smart, and Reid, thus — ed'u-kdt. Nature, 
 by Walker, thus — nd'chur ; by Sheridan and 
 Jones, thus — nd'chur; by Perry, Enfield, and 
 Reid, thus — nd'tur ; by Jameson and Knowles 
 thus — ndt'yur; by Smart, thus — nd'tur, or nd'- 
 chdr. Natural, by Walker and Jones, thus 
 — naVchu-ral; by Sheridan, thus — nat'chur-dl ; 
 by Fulton, Enfield, and Jameson, thus — ndt'ii- 
 ral ; by Perry and Reid, thus — ndt'tirrdl ; by 
 Knowles, thus — nat'yur-Sl ; by Smart, thus — 
 nat'chd-ral. There is a pretty large class of 
 words with respect to which there is a similar 
 diversity in the manner in which the pronun- 
 ciation of u and tu is noted by the difierent 
 orthoepists ; but the difierence is greater in ap- 
 pearance than in reality. The u thus situated 
 may properly be regarded as having the slight 
 sound of long u ; and the sound may be noted 
 
 by 1/M, slightly articulated Walker remarks, 
 
 with respect to the pronunciation of nature, 
 " There is a vulgar pronunciation of this word 
 as if written na'ter, which cannot be too care- 
 fuLy avoided. Some 'critics have contended 
 that it ought to be pronounced as if written 
 nate-yure ; but this pronunciation comes so near 
 to that here adopted [nd'chur], as scarcely to be 
 distinguishable from it." 
 
 25. Y, at the end of a word, preceded by a 
 consonant, is commonly pronounced short and 
 indistinct, like indistinct e ; as, policy, palpably. 
 
 lately, colony, &c. — The exceptions are mono- 
 syllables ; as, by, cry, dry, fly, fry, sty, wry, with 
 their compounds, awry, hereby, whereby, &.c. 
 also verbs ending in fy ; as, fortify, magnify-, 
 testify, &c. ; also, ally, occupy, and prophesy. 
 
 SOUNDS OF THE DIPHTHONGS AND 
 TRIPHTHONGS. 
 
 26. A. diphthong is the union of two vowels, 
 pronounced by a single impulse of the voice ; as 
 oi in voice, ou in sound. 
 
 27. A triphthong is the union of three vowels, 
 pronounced in like manner ; as, ieu in adieu, ieus 
 in view. 
 
 28. A proper diphthong is one in which both 
 vowels are sounded ; as, oi in voice, ou in found

 ea in ocean ; io in nation ; ua in assuage ; 
 
 eu " feud ; oi " voice ; ue " desuetude 
 
 ew " jewel ; ou " sound ; ui " languid,

 ie " spaniel ; oy " boy ; 
 
 The diphthongs which begin with e or i, name 
 ly, ea, eu, ew, ia, ie, and io, diflfer from the rest 
 and they may, as Walker says, " not improperly 
 be called semi-consonant diphthongs;" being 
 pronounced as if y consonant was substituted 
 in place of e or i ,• as, ocyan, ponyard, questyoru 
 
 29. An improper diphthong has only one of 
 the vowels sounded ; as, ea in hear, oa in coal 
 
 improper diphthongs.

 30. This IS a Latin diphthong, and is aJwaya 
 long in Latin. In English, it is used only in 
 words of Latin origin or formation ; as, aqua mice, 
 minutiae, (esthetics ; and it is sometimes long, as 
 in peean, and sometimes short, as in Dmd'alus 
 
 AL 
 
 31. The usual sound of this diphthong is the 
 same as long a ; as m pail, pain, pronounced like 
 pale, pane. The following are tlio principal 
 exceptions. It has the sound of short e in saia 
 says, and sailh, and in again and agair-* tha>

 32. Tills diphthong occurs only in the word 
 gaol, pronounced, as well as very often written, 
 jaiL 
 
 AU. 
 
 33. The common sound of this diphthong is 
 the same as that of broad a, or aw, caul and haul 
 being pronounced exactly like call and hall. 
 But when these letters are followed by n and 
 another consonant, the sound is changed, in a 
 number of words, to that of the Ita Ian a in far 
 nnd father; as, by most of the orthoepists, in the 
 following words: aunt, craunch, daunt, flaunt, 
 gaunt, gauntlet, haunch, haunt, jaunt, jaundice, 
 laundress, laundry, maund, paunch, saunter, 
 staunch. Some orthoepists pronounce a part 
 of these words with the sound of broad a, as 
 most of them do the word vaunt. In the words 
 laugh and draught, this diphthong has likewise 
 the sound of a in far ; in gauge, the sound of 
 long a, (as in page ;) in hautboy, the sound of 
 long ,• and in cauliflower, laudanum, and 
 laurel, it is commonly pronounced with the 
 sound of short o ; as, col'iflower, &c. 
 
 AW. 
 
 34. This diphthong has the sound of broad a, 
 bawl and baU being pronounced exactly alike. 
 
 AY. 
 
 35. This diphthong has the sound of long a, as 
 in pay, hay, &c. ; except in quay, which is pro- 
 nounced ke ; and in Sunday, Monday, &c., the 
 last syllable is pronounced as if written Sundy, 
 Mondy. 
 
 36. The regular sound of this diphthong is 
 that of long e ; as in heat, hear, pronounced like 
 beet, here ; but there are many words in which 
 it has the sound of short e ; as, head, dead, ready, 
 &c. In a few words it has the sound of long a ; 
 as m break, steak, great, bear, bearer, forbear, for- 
 twear, pear, swear, tear, wear. In some words it 
 has the sound of a in fax ; as in heart, hearten, 
 hearty, hearth, hearken; and, when unaccented, 
 It has on ly an obscure sound, as in vengeance, 
 tergeant, 
 
 EAU. 
 
 37. This triphthong is used only in words 
 derived from the French In beauty it has the 
 
 sound of long u ; but its regular sound is thai 
 of long o, as'in beau, bureau, fiamAeau, &c. 
 
 EE. 
 
 38. This diphthong is almost always pro- 
 nounped like long e; the principal exception* 
 are been, (bin,) and breeches, (britches.) The 
 poetical contractions e'er and ne^er, for ever and 
 nxver, are pronounced as if written air and nair

 39. This diphthong has most commonly tna 
 sound of long a, as in deign, eight, feign, feint, 
 freight, heinous, inveigh, neigh, neighbor, veil, 
 weight, hdr, their, &c. But there are many ex- 
 ceptions. It has the sound of long e in ceil, 
 ceiling, conceit, conceive, deceit, deceive, inveigle, 
 perceive, receipt, receive, seize, seizin, seignior 
 seigniory, seine ; commonly also in either, neither 
 and leisure. (See Either, Neither, and Lei- 
 sure.) It has the sound of long i in height and 
 sleight ; of short e in heifer and nonpareil ; and, 
 in an unaccented syllable, an indistinct sound 
 of i, as in counterfeit, foreign, foreigner, forfeit, 
 forfeiture, sovereign, sovereignty, surfeit.

 40. This diphthong is pronounced like long o 
 in yeoman, and like long e in people ; like short e 
 in jeopard, jeopardy, leopard, feoffee, f coffer, feoff- 
 ment ; like broad o (as in nor) in georgic ; like 
 long u in feod,feodal,feodary, (which are writter 
 also feud, feudal, a.ni feudary ;) and, when unac 
 cented, it has the indistinct sound of u, o, or i 
 as in bludgeon, curmudgeon, dudgeon, dungeon 
 gudgeon, habergeon, luncheon, puncheon, trun- 
 cheon, surgeon, sturgeon, scutcheon, escutcheon,

 44. This diphthong, in the terminations ud, 
 ian, and iard, is often united in one syllable, 
 the I being sounded like y ; as. Christian, Jilial,

 JU'yal, pon'yard. In some words it has the ob- 
 scure sound of indistinct short i, as in carriage, 
 marriage, parliamevi.

 47. This diphthong is derived from the Greek 
 and Latin, and it is retained in but very few 
 words used in English. It is found in assqfcet- 
 ida, where it is pronounced like short e, and in 
 (Edema, (Esophagus, ardced, also often in fatus, 
 (often written fetus,) in which it has the sound 
 of long e.

 48. This triphthong is found only in the word 
 marueuwe, and it has the sound of oo in moon, 
 or of u in ride, 
 
 OI and OY. 
 
 49. The sound of these diphthongs is the 
 same ; and it is noted in this Dictionary, aa it 
 is in that of Walker and in other Dictionaries, 
 by the sound of b-oad o, (as in nor,) and short i. 
 Although this is the manner in which Walker 
 marks these letters in his Dictionary, yet in his 
 "Principles," he says, « The general, and almost 
 universal, sound of this diphthong is that of a 
 in water (the same as o in nor) and the first e in 
 tietre." Perhaps a better mode of representing 
 iie sound of this diphthong would be to mark 
 Jie t and the y with a dot under them, to de- 
 
 note the obscure sound, or by the use of an a 
 witli the same mark ; as, bSil or boel, bdy or bSe, 
 Some orthoepists mark both letters short. There 
 is no disagreement with respect to the sound 
 itself, but merely with regard to the mode of 
 representing it. 
 
 00. 
 
 50. The regular sound of this diphthong la 
 heard in moon, food, stoop ; and it is the same 
 as that of single o in mmie, prove. 
 
 51. This diphthong has a shorter sound (the 
 same as the sound of u in bvU, or of single o in 
 wolf) in the following words: hook, brook, cook, 
 crook, foot, good, hood, hook, look, shook, stood, 
 understood, udthstood, wood, and wool ; and also, 
 according to some orthoepists, in rook and soot. 
 Walker says, diat "foot, good, hood, stood, un 
 derstood, withstood, wood, and wool, are the only 
 words where this diphthong has this middle 
 sound." But the rest of the words above enu- 
 merated are pronounced with the same sound 
 of this diphthong by other orthoepists, as wel 
 as by common usage. Smart says, that the pro- 
 nunciation assigned by Walker to book {bdk] 
 "is a decided provincialism." 
 
 52. This diphthong has the sound of long o 
 
 in door and. floor; and of short u in blood and 
 
 food. 
 
 OU. 
 
 53. This is the most irregular diphthong in the 
 language. Its most common or regular sound 
 is that in which both letters are sounded, as in 
 bound, sound, cloud, loud, our, shout, south, &c.

 country, cousin, couple, accouple, double, trouble, 
 southern, courage, encourage, flourish, nourish, 
 nourishment, enough, chough, rough, tough, toueh, 
 touchy, young, youngster, &c. It has the sound

 OW. 
 
 55. The regular sound of this diphthong, the 
 same as the regular sound of ou, is heard in 
 how, now, down, town, tower, &c. It has the 
 Bound of long o in below, bestow, blow, crow, 
 flow, Jlown, grow, grown, growth, glow, know,

 words, in some of their senses : bow, low, lower, 
 mow, shower, sow. 
 
 56. When this diphthong forms a final or un- 
 accanted syllable, it has the slight sound of long 
 0, as in borrow, follow, follower.

 57. When both the letters of this diphthong 
 are sounded, they have the power of wa, as in 
 equal, language, persuade. In some words the 
 u is silent, as in guard, guardian, guarantee, 
 piquant; and m victuals and victualling, both 
 the letters are silent 
 
 UE. 
 
 58. When these letters are united m a diph- 
 thong, and are both sounded, they have the 
 power of we, as in consuetude, desuetude, man- 
 suetude, conquest. In some words the u is 
 Bilent, as in guerdon, gu^ss, guest. When this 
 diphthong is final, the e is in many words silent, 
 as in due, hue, pursue, value, &c. ; and in some 
 words both letters are silent, as in league, far 
 tigue, harangue, tongue, antique, oblique, deca- 
 logtie, demagogue, dialogue, &c. 
 
 UI. 
 
 59. These letters, when united in a diphthong, 
 and both sounded, have the power of loi, as in 
 anguish, languid, vanquish. In some wwds the 
 u is silent, as in guide, guile, build, guinea; and 
 in others the i is sUent, as in juice, pursuit, 
 fruit, &c. 
 
 SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS. 
 
 60. The consonants are divided into mutes 
 and semi-vowds. The mutes cannot be sounded 
 at all without the aid of a vowel. They are 6, 
 d, k, p, t, and c and g hard. 
 
 61, The semi-vowels have an imperfect sound 
 of themselves. They are /, I, m, n, r, s, v, x, z, 
 ind c and g soft. 
 
 62. The four semi-vowels, I, m, «, and r, ar« 
 also called liquids, because they readily unite 
 with other consonants, flowing, as it were, into 
 their sounds. 
 
 63. The following consonants are styled den- 
 tals, namely, d, j, s, t, z, and g soft, being pro- 
 nounced chiefly by the aid of the teeth ; d, g, j, 
 k, I, n, and q, are called palatals, from the use 
 made of the palate in pronouncing them ; b, p 
 f, V, and m, are called labials, being pronounced 
 chiefly by the lips ; m, n, and the digraph ng" 
 are called nasab, being sounded through the 
 nose ; and k, q, c and g hard, are called gut- 
 turals, being sounded by the throat 
 
 B. 
 
 64. B, preceded by m in the same syllable, 
 is generally silent ; as, lamb, limb, comb, dumb 
 &c. ; Tbut succumb is an exception. It is silenl 
 also before { in the same syllable, as in debt, 
 doubt, redoubt, &c. 
 
 C. 
 
 65. This letter is hard, and sounds \\ke k, be- 
 fore a, 0, and u ; and it is soft, and sounds like s, 
 before e, i, and y; except in sceptic and sdrrhm 
 and their derivatives, in which it is hard, like k. 
 
 66. When c comes after the accent, and is fol- 
 lowed by eo, ia, io, or eous, it takes, like s and t, 
 the sound of sh; as, ocean, social, tenacious, ce- 
 taceous. In the words discern, sacrifice, suffice, 
 and sice, and several words derived from discern, 
 sacryke, and suffice, c has the sound of z 
 
 CH. 
 
 67. The regular English sound of this di 
 graph is the same as that of tch, or tsh^ as in 
 chair, child, rich, church. When ch follows { 
 or n, as in bdch, bench, JUch, Walker, Jameson, 
 and Fulton, designate the sound by sh, as bekh, 
 bensh, fish; but other orthoepists, Sheridan, 
 Perry, Jones, Knowles, and Smart, give to ch, 
 thus situated, the same sound as in rich. 
 
 68. In words derived from the ancient lan- 
 guages, ch is generally hard, like k, as in ache, 
 alchemy, anarch, anarchy, anchor, anchoret, ca- 
 chexy, catechism, chalcography, chalybeate, chame- 
 leon, chamomile, chaos, character, chasm, chdy, 
 chemistry, chimera, chirography, chiromancy 
 choler, chorus, chord, chorography, chyle, chyme, 
 cochleary, conch, distich, echo, echinus, epocK 
 eunuch, hemistich, hierarch, hierarchy, machinaL 
 machination, mechanic, mechanism, monarch, nut 
 narchiccU, orchestra, orchestre, pentateuch, scheme 
 schesis, scholar, school, stomach, stomachic, &c 
 
SOUNDS OF THE CONSONANTS 
 
 The exceptions are charity, chart, and charter. 
 Ch is hard in all words in which it is followed 
 by Z or r ; as, chlorosis, Christian. 
 
 69. When arch, signifying chief, begins a 
 word from the Greek language, and is followed 
 Uy a vowel, it is pronounced ark, as in arch- 
 ftng%2, architect, archive, archipelago, archetype, 
 vrchiepiscopal, archidiacorud, architrave, archaism, 
 ttrclueology; but when arch is prefixed to an Eng- 
 lish word, it is pronounced so as to rhyme with 
 march; as, archbishop, archduke, arch-Jiend. In 
 drachm, schism, and yctcht, ch is silent. 
 
 D. 
 
 70. The termination erf, assumed by the pre- 
 terit and participle, in some words takes the 
 sound of d added to the preceding syllable ; as, 
 healed, sealed, pronounced heald, scald; and in 
 some it takes the sound of t, added in the same 
 manner ; as, distressed, mixed, pronounced distrest, 
 mixt. Some words, which, when used as parti- 
 ciples, are pronounced in one syllable, are, when 
 used as adjectives, pronounced in two ; as, 
 learned, blessed, winged. 
 
 P. 
 
 71. This letter has a uniform sound, except 
 in the preposition of, in which it has the sound 
 of V. 
 
 G. 
 
 72. G, like c, has two sounds, one hard and 
 the other soft. It is hard before a, o, and u. 
 The only exception is gaol, which is commonly 
 written, as well as pronounced, jaU. 
 
 73. G, before e, i, and y, is sometimes hard and 
 sometimes soft It is generally soft before words 
 derived from the Greek, Latin, and French, and 
 hard before words from the Saxon ; and these last, 
 being much the smaller number of the words of 
 this sort, may be regarded as exceptions. 
 
 74. It is hard before e in gear, geek, geese, 
 geld, gelt, gelding, get, gewgaw, shagged, 
 tKagged, cragged, ragged, scragged, dogged, 
 rugged, dagger, stagger, swagger, trigger, dog- 
 ger, pettifogger, tiger, anger, eager, auger, finger, 
 linger, conger, longer, stronger, younger, longest, 
 strongest, youngest ; before i, in gibber, gibber- 
 ish, gibbous, gibcat, giddy, gift, gig, giggle, gig- 
 gler, gild, gill, gimlet, gimp, gird, girdle, girl, 
 girt, girth, gizzard, begin, give, forgive, biggin, 
 viggin, noggin, druggist, waggish, hoggish, 
 sluggish, rigging, digging, &c. ; before y, in 
 ioggy, buggy, cloggy, craggy, foggy, dreggy, 
 jaggy, knaggy, muggy, quaggy, scraggy, shag- 
 VI snaggy, swaggy, twiggy. 
 
 (3) 
 
 75. The g in longer, (the comparative of long, 
 stronger, younger, longest, strongest, and young 
 est, must articulate the e ; and these words aro 
 pronounced as if written witii gg. Thus longer 
 the comparative of long, is pronounced long'ger, 
 and longer, one who longs, long'er. 
 
 GH. 
 
 76. In this digraph, at the beginning of a 
 word, the h is silent, as in ghost, ghastly, gher- 
 kin ; at the end of words, both letters are com- 
 monly silent, as in high, nigh, sigh, thigh, neigh, 
 weigh, inveigh, sleigh, hough, dough, thmgh, 
 although, plough, furlough, through, ihorougli, 
 borough. In some words this digraph has the 
 sound of /, as in enough, rough, tough, trough, 
 cough, chough, laugh, laughter; in some, the 
 sound of k, as in hough, shough, lough. In 
 dough and slough, it is sometimes silent, and 
 sometimes has the sound of/. 
 
 GHT. 
 
 77. In this termination the letters gA aia 
 always silent ; as, fight, right, height, &c. ; ex- 
 cept in draught, which is pronounced, and ia 
 some of its senses usually written, draft. 
 
 H 
 
 78. This letter is a note of aspiration, and it 
 is silent at the beginning of a number of words 
 as, heir, heiress, honor, honesty, honorable, herb 
 herbage, hostler, hour, &c. In hospital, hum- 
 ble, humor, humorous, and humxirsome, according 
 to some orthoepists it is silent, and according 
 to others it is sounded. It is always silent after 
 r, as in rheum, rhetoric, rhapsody, &c. 
 
 K. 
 
 79. This letter has the same sound as c 
 hard, and is always silent before n, as in knet, 
 kneel, know, &c. 
 
 L. 
 
 80. L is silent in many words ; as in calf, half, 
 chalk, talk, balm, calm, would, could, should, &o 
 
 M. 
 
 81. M always preserves its sound, except in 
 accompt, accomptant, and comptroller ; more com- 
 monly written account, accountant, and con- 
 holler. 
 
 N. 
 
 82. JV has two sounds, one simple and pure^ 
 as in man, not ; the other compound and mixed, 
 as in hang, thank, banquet, acinous the threo 
 
PRINCIPLES OF PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 hst being pronounced as if written thangk, 
 tang'qtiet, angMshus. 
 
 83. JV is mute when it ends a syllable and 
 IS preceded by / or m, as in kiln, hymn, limn, 
 column, avtumn, solemn, condemn, contemn, &c. 
 
 P. 
 
 84. P is silpnt before s and t at the begin- 
 'n:ng of words, as in psalm, psalter, ptisan. 
 
 PH. 
 
 R5. This digraph generally has the sound of 
 /, as in physic, philosophy, &c. In nephew and 
 Stephen, it has the sound of u ; and in diphihong, 
 itriphthong, naphtha, &c., the h is silent. 
 
 Q. 
 
 86. Q is always followed by it, and the di- 
 graph qu has commonly the sound of kw, as in 
 queen, quill, qruai; but, in many words derived 
 from the French, it has the sound of A, as in 
 ..coquet, etiquette, masquerade, &c. 
 
 R. 
 
 ■87. The letter r has a jarring or trilling 
 .effect on the tongue, and it is never silent. It 
 •has a peculiar influence on both the long and 
 'the short sound of the vowels. It has the effect, 
 ■under certain circumstances, to change tlie short 
 'Sound df a, as in man, into its Italian sound, as in 
 far, and the short sound of o, as in not, into its 
 'broad sound, like broad a, as in nor ; and it has 
 - a corresponding effect on the short sound of the 
 •<>ther vowels. — (See pages x and xi.) — When 
 -r is preceded by a long vowel, it has sometimes 
 ilhe effect of confounding the syllables. Thus 
 the monosyllables hire, more, roar, sore, and 
 Jlour, are pronounced precisely like the dissyl- 
 \la.t)leB higher, mower, rower, sower, and Jlower. 
 88. There is a difference of opinion among 
 lOrthoepists resjiecting the letter r. Johnson 
 -eays, that " it has one constant sound in Eng- 
 lish;" and the same view of it is maintained 
 by Kenrick, Sheridan, Perry, Jones, Jameson, 
 and Knowles. Walker, on the contrary, says, 
 "There is a distinction in the sound of this 
 .etter scarcely ever noticed by any of our 
 writers on the subject, which is, in my opinion, 
 of no small importance ; and that is, the rough 
 and the smooth r." The following is the view 
 given by Smart : " K is a decided consonant 
 when 11 begins a syllable with or without 
 mother consonant, as in ra,y, pray, and also 
 when it ends a syllable, if it should be so cir- 
 «unstanced that, ending one, it alsc begins the 
 
 next, as m and, tarry, peril, berry, spirit, Jlor:t 
 hurry. Here the r has the same effect on th« 
 previous vowel that any other consonant would 
 have ! that is to say, it stops, or renders the 
 vowel essentially short. But, under other cir- 
 cumstances, final r is not a decided consonant 
 and therefore the syllables ar, er, ir, or, ur, are 
 not coincident, as to the vowel sound in each, 
 with at, et, it, ot, ut; neither do the vowel 
 sounds in fare, mere, ire, ore, ure, poor, war, 
 quite identify with those in faie, mMe, ide, ode. 
 cube, pool, owl." 
 
 S. 
 
 89. The regular or genuine sound of « is its 
 sharp, sibilant, or hissing sound, like c soft, as in 
 son, this. It has also a fiat or soft sound, (called 
 by some its vocal sound,) the same as that of the 
 letter z, as in wise, his. 
 
 90. S has always its sharp, hissmg sound at 
 the beginning of words, as son, safe ; also at the 
 end of words when they terminate in as, except 
 the words as, has, was, whereas, and the plural 
 of nouns ending en, as seas, pleas ; in all words 
 ending in ss, as less, express ; in all words end- 
 ing in is, except the monosyllables is and his ; 
 in all words ending in uj and ous, as genitis, 
 famous ; in all words when preceded, in the 
 same syllable, by either of the mutes k, p, t, or 
 by/, as locks, hats, caps, muff's. 
 
 91. i9 final has the sound of z when it imme- 
 diately follows any consonant, except the mutes 
 k, p, t, the semi-vowel f, and th aspirated, as in 
 ribs, heads, hens ; also when it forms an additional 
 syllable with e before it, in the plural of nouns 
 and the third person singular of verbs, as in 
 churches, boxes, prices ; likewise in some verbs 
 ending in se, to distinguish them from nouns 
 and adjectives of the same form, as abuse, use, 
 dose, diffuse, as distinguished from the nouns 
 and adjectives abuse, use, dose, diffuse. But it 
 is impossible to give rules which will enable 
 one to see, in all cases, how s is to be pro- 
 nounced, whether with its sharp, hissing sound, 
 or its flat or soft sound, like z. 
 
 92. S aspirated, or sounding like sh or zh. — 
 5 takes the sound of sh in words ending in sion, 
 preceded by a consonant, as in diversion, expul 
 sion, dimension, passion, mission, &c. ; also in 
 the following words: censure, tensure, tonsure, 
 sensual, fissure, sdssure, pressure, compressure, 
 impressure, sure, assure, insure, nauseate, nau- 
 seous, exosseous, sugar, sumach. 
 
 93. S has the sound of zh in the termiiiatioi 
 sion, preceded by a vowel, as in evasion, cohf

 lum, decisinn. explosion, contitsion, &c. ; also in 
 A number of words in wiiich s is preceded by 
 an accented vowel, and followed by the termi- 
 nation ure, as in measure, pleasure, displeasure, 
 treasure, rasure, closure, disclosure, enclosure, ex 
 posure, composure, incisure, leisure ; also in sev- 
 eral words ending in sier; as, crosier, cosier, 
 osier, hosier, rosier, brasier, grasier ; also in am- 
 lirosui, anArosial, elysium, dysian. 
 
 t)4. T, like s and c, is aspirated when it 
 comes immediately after the accent, and is 
 followed by the vowels ia, ie, or to, taking the 
 (ound, in these cases, of sA, as in partial, patient, 
 natfon, partition, &c. 
 
 TH. 
 
 95. This digraph has two sounds ; one, hard, 
 Bliarp, or aspirate, as in thin, think, earth, breath, 
 &c. ; the other, flat, soft, or vocal, as in this, the, 
 then, hreathe, &c. 
 
 96. At the beginning of words, this digraph 
 IS generally sharp, as in thin, thorn. The ex- 
 ceptions are the following words, with their 
 compounds ; the, this, that, thou, thee, thy, thine, 
 their, theirs, them, these, those, there, therefore, 
 then, thence, thither, though, thus. At the end 
 of words it is generally sharp, as in death, 
 breath, &c. ; but at the end of some verbs it is 
 flat, as to smooth, to mouth ; also in the follow- 
 ing, which are written with a final e .• to bathe, 
 to bequeathe, to breathe, to clothe, to loathe, to 
 iheathe, to soothe, to swathe, to lereathe. 
 
 97. In some nouns, it is sharp in the singular, 
 Rs in bath, path ; and flat in the plural, as baths, 
 paths. In some words the h is silent, as in 
 Thomas, thyme. 
 
 W. 
 
 98. W, at the beginning of words, is a con- 
 sonant It is always silent before r; as, unite, 
 wren, wrist, &c. 
 
 WH. 
 
 99. This digraph is sounded as it would natu- 
 rally be if the order of the letters were reversed, 
 thus, hw; as, when, while, whip, pronounced 
 hwen, kurile, hwip. In some words the w is 
 lilent; as, who, whole, &c. 
 
 X. 
 
 100. The regular sound of x is its sharp 
 wiund, like ks ; as, excellence, execute, expect, tax. 
 
 101. It has a flat or soft sound, like gz, when 
 Uie next syllable following begins with an ac- 
 cented vowel, as in exalt, example, exert, execu- 
 
 tor; also in some words derived from pfmutivet 
 which have the sound of gz in them ; as, exalta- 
 tion, exemplary. 
 
 102. At the beginning of words, it has tfie 
 sound of z, as in Xenophon, xylography. 
 
 103. X is aspirated, and taKes tlie sound ot 
 ksh, in some words, when the accent immediately 
 precedes it ; as, Jluxion, complexion, anxious 
 luxury. 
 
 Z. 
 
 104. This letter has the same sound as fla» 
 or soft a. It is aspirated, taking the sound of 
 zh, in a few words ; as, brazier, glazier, grazier 
 vizier, azure, razure, seizure. 
 
 ACCKNT. 
 
 105. All the words in the English language ot 
 more than one syllable, have one accented sylla- 
 ble ; and most polysyllabic words have not only 
 a syllable with the primary accent, but also one 
 with a secondary accent. 
 
 106. It is the general tendency of the Ian 
 guage to place the accent on the first syllable 
 of dibsyllables, and on the antepenultimate of 
 polysyllables. The exceptions, however, are so 
 numerous, that this is not to be regarded as a 
 rule, but only as a general tendency of the Ian 
 guage. With respect to verbs of two syllables, 
 the tendency is to place the accent on tho 
 second syllable. 
 
 107. A large part of the words of the English 
 language, especially of the polysyllables, are de- 
 rived from the Latin and Greek languages ; and, 
 with respect to the accent of such words, these 
 languages have great influence ; though, in re- 
 lation to many of them, the analogy of the Eng- 
 lish prevails over that of the original language. 
 
 108. Words which are adopted from the Latin 
 language into the English without any change 
 of orthography, generally retain the Latin ac- 
 cent, especially if they are terms of the arts 
 and sciences, or words somewhat removed from 
 common usage. The following words have the 
 accent on the penultimate syllable, both in Latin, 
 and English: abdomen, acumen, asylum^ bitur- 
 men, curator, decorum, delator, dictator, horizon, 
 spectator, testator. 
 
 109. Some words which have the accent on 
 the penult in Latin, are conformed to the Eng- 
 lish analogy, and have the accent on the ante- 
 penult; as, cmditor, character, cicatrix, orator 
 minister, plethora, senator, sinister. 
 
 110. Monosyllables are generally marked, 01 
 
EX 
 
 JKINCIPLES OF PRONUNC^ATIO^. 
 
 proiDuncing dictionaries, with the distinct 
 sounds of the vowels, as they are pronounced 
 when uttered distinctly; but, in reading and 
 speaking, a great part of them, especially the 
 particles, as a, an, the, and, at, of, in, on, &c., 
 dre generally uttered so as to give only an indis- 
 tinct or obscure sound to the vowels. 
 
 111. Simple words of two syllables have only 
 one syllable accented, except the word amen, 
 which, Walker says, "is the only word in the 
 language which has necessarily two consecu- 
 tive accents." There are, however, many com- 
 pound words of two syllables which have both 
 syllables more or less accented; as, backslide, 
 downfall, highway, lighthouse, sometimes, way- 
 lay, windmill, &c. 
 
 112. Many words of three and four syllables 
 nave only one accented syllable; as, sensible, 
 penalty, reliance, occurrence, republic, admirable, 
 agreeable, celebrity, congenial, chalybeate, &c. But 
 some l\ave a secondary accent almost as strong 
 as the primary; as, advertise, artisan, partisan, 
 complaisant, caravan, countermand, reprimand, 
 contraband, commodore, reprehend, navigator, 
 regulator, detrimental, judicature, caricature, ani- 
 madvert, &c. 
 
 113. Almost all words of more than four syl- 
 lables have both a primary and a secondary 
 accent ; and some words of seven or eight syl- 
 .ables have one primary and two secondary ac- 
 cents ; as, indivisibility, incomprehensibility. 
 
 114. The following list of dissyllables, when 
 ised as nouns oj; adjectives, have the accent on 
 Jie first syllable; and when used as verbs, on 
 the second: —

 115. Of the words m the above table, cement 
 complot, essay, increase, perfume, permit, survey 
 and undress, when used as nouns, are often 
 pronounced with the accent on the second syl- 
 lable. — See these words in the Dictionary 
 
 See also the words Contents, Detail, and Rb" 
 TAii., which are more or less conformed to thi» 
 analogy, with respect to the accent 
 
 116. The following trisyllables, when nouna, 
 are accented on the first syllable ; and when 
 verbs, on the third: —

 117. A similar analogy hajs influence iv 
 changing the accent of many other words, 
 which are used as verbs, and also as nouns of 
 adjectives. Thus, counterbalance and overbal- 
 ance, when nouns, have the accent on the first 
 syllable, and when verbs, on the third: and 
 attribute, as a noun, is accented on the first syl- 
 lable, and as a verb, on the second. A class of 
 words with the termination ate, have the dis. 
 tinct sound of long a, when used as verbs, anc

 me indistinct or obscure sound of a, when used

 interest, when used as a verb, is pronounced with 
 a more distinct sound of short e, in the last syl- 
 lable, than when used as a noun. The verb to 
 prophesy has the full sound of long y ; and the 
 Qoun prophecy, the obscure sound of y ov e. So 
 the whole class of verbs ending in Jy are pro- 
 nounced with the distinct sound of long y. 
 
 118. There is a difference in the pronuncia- 
 tion of the following words, when used as nouns 
 or adjectives, and when used as verbs. This 
 difference is somewhat analogous to the change 
 of accent in the preceding lists of words.

 119. All words ending in sion and tion have 
 ihe accent on the penultimate syllable ; as, dis- 
 un'rion, declara'tion, meditaftion, &c. 
 
 120. Words ending in ia, iac, ial, ian, eoiis, 
 and tow*, have the accent on the preceding syl- 
 lable ; as, rega'lia, dema'niae, impe'rial, merid'ian, 
 tponta'neous, mdo'dious. If c, g, s, t, or x, pre- 
 cedes the vowels e or i, in these terminations, 
 tliese vowels are generally blended with the 
 vowel or vowels which follow, being pronounced 
 in one syllable ; as, benefi'cial, magi'cian, fari- 
 na'ceous, loqua'cioua, dissen'sious, coura'geoiis, 
 conta'gious, corden'tious. The only exception 
 to this rule, in relation to placing the accent, is 
 the word elegiac, which is commonly pronounced 
 slegi'ac, though some pronounce it, in accordance 
 with the rule, elefgiac. — See Eleoiac. 
 
 121. Words ending in acal and ical have the 
 accent on the antepenultimate syllable ; as, hdi'- 
 aeal, alphabel'{cal,fanal'ical,geograph'ical, poet'i- 
 cal, &c. In words of this termination, the vowels 
 jr. the accented syllables, if followed by a con- 
 sonant, are snort, except u, which is long; as, 
 'j/bical, mu'sical, scorbu'tical. 
 
 122. Words ending in ic have the accent on 
 the penultimate syllable ; as, algebra'ic, metaVlic, 
 tpidem'ic, scientific, harmon'ic, paralyfie. If a 
 consonant immediately precedes the i, the 
 vowels in the accented syllable are short, ex- 
 cept the fowel m, which is long if it is followed 
 by a sn^lj consonant; as, cheru'bic, scorbu'tic, 
 ndph.i' it iellu'ric, &c. ; but if u is followed by 
 
 two consonants, it is sometimes short; as,/i«'<ic, 
 rus'tic ; and sometimes long ; as, ru'bric, lu'bric. 
 The following words, which are exceptions to 
 this rule, have the accent on tlie antepenulti- 
 mate syllable : ar'senic, (as a noun,) arith'metic, 
 bish'opric, cath'olic, choVeric, ephem'esric, her'etie, 
 lu'natic, pol'itic, rhet'oric, and tur'meric. The 
 following words, according to some orthoepists, 
 are conformed to the rule, and according to 
 others, they are exceptions to it : dvmaderic, em 
 piric, phlegmatic, splenetic — See these wordt 
 in the Dictionary. 
 
 123. Words of three or more syllables, enu 
 ing in eal, have their accent on the antepenulti 
 mate syllable ; as, bo'real, corpo'reai, incorpo'real, 
 cu'neal, empyr'eal, ethefreal, fune'real, homogtf 
 neal, hderoge'neal, ladteal, lin'eal, or'deal, svhter 
 ra'neal; except hymene'al; which has the penul 
 timate accent 
 
 124. Of words ending in ean, the following 
 being conformed to the English analogy, have 
 the accent on the antepenultimate syllable : ce- 
 ru'lean, hyperbo'rean, hercu'lean, mediterra'nean, 
 subterra'nean, tarta'rean; but the following are 
 pronounced by the principal orthoepists, in ac- 
 cordance with the best usage, with the accent 
 on the penultimate : adamante'an, MlarMan, 
 colosse'an, empyre'an, epicure' an, Europe'an, hy 
 mene'an, pygme'an. With regard to European, 
 Walker remarks as follows : " This word, ac- 
 cording to the analogy of our own language, 
 ought certainly to have the accent on the second 
 syllable ; and this is the pronunciation which 
 unlettered speakers constantly adopt; but the 
 learned, ashamed of the einalogies of their own 
 tongue, always place the accent on the tliird 
 syllable, because Europceus has the penulti 
 mate long, and is therefore accented in Latin. 
 Epicurean has the accent on the same syllable 
 by the same rule ; while herculean and cervltan 
 submit to English analogy, and have their ac- 
 cent on the second syllable, because their pe- 
 nultimate in Latin is snort" 
 
 125. Words ending in tvde, ejy, ify, and iiy 
 have their accent on the antepenultimate ; as 
 for'titude, rar'efy, diver'sify, Mberai'ity, impu'rity 
 variety, insensibil'ily. 
 
 126. Words of three or more syllables end 
 ing in idous, inous, eroiis, and orous, have the 
 accent on the antepenultimate ; as, sed'ulotis, 
 voMminous, vociferous, camit/orous ; except 
 cano'rous and sono'rous, which have the accent 
 on the penultimate. 
 
 127. Words of three or more syllables endii^ 
 in ative have the accent on the antepenultimate

 ORTHOEPY AND ORTHOEPISTS. 
 
 1S9. The pronunciation of the English lan- 
 ^lage, like that of all living languages, is in a 
 great measure arbitrary. It is exposed to the 
 caprices of fashion and taste. It is liable to 
 change from one age to another ; and it varies, 
 jnore or less, not only in tlie different and dis- 
 tantly separated countries in which it is spoken, 
 but also in the different divisions and districts 
 of the same country. No two speakers or or- 
 thoepists, though inhabitants of the same place, 
 would be likely to agree in the pronunciation of 
 all its words. The standard of pronunciation is 
 not the authority of any dictionary, or of any or- 
 thoepist ; but it is the present usage of literary 
 and well-bred society. 
 
 130. Tlie question may be asked. Where is 
 this standard to be sought, — this usage to be 
 ascertained ? To this it may be answered, that 
 London is the great metropolis of English litera- 
 ture ; and that it has an incomparably greater 
 influence than any other city in giving law, in 
 relation to style and pronunciation, to the many 
 millions who write and speak the language. 
 The English orthocpists naturally refer to the 
 usage of the best society in London as their 
 principal standard ; but the usage of good so- 
 ciety in that city is not uniform, and no two 
 orthoepists would perfectly agree with each 
 other in attempting to exhibit it. 
 
 131. It may be further asked. How far is it 
 proper for the people of the United States to be 
 guided, in then- pronunciation, by the usage of 
 London ? To this it may be answered, that it is 
 advisable for American writers and speakers to 
 conform substantially to the best models, whei^ 
 ever they may be found ; and so long as London 
 holds its rank as the great metropolis of the lit- 
 erature of the English language, so long it must 
 nave a predominating influence with respect to 
 writing and speaking it If the influence of the 
 usage of London were discarded, where should 
 we seek for a usage that would be generally 
 ickcowlolged as entitled to higher authority.' 
 
 There is no one city in tne United Sfc.tes whiCB 
 holds a corresponding rank, as a centre of in 
 telhgence and fashion, — no one which is tha 
 central and undisputed metropolis of Angit*- 
 American literature, as London is of Englisn 
 literature. The pronunciation in the United 
 States is, indeed, now substantially conformed 
 to the usage of London. The works of the 
 English orthoepists, who have regarded tbs 
 usage of London as their standard, have been 
 as generally circulated and used in this country, 
 as they have been in England ; and there is, un- 
 doubtedly, a more general conformity to London 
 usage in pronunciation throughout the United 
 States, than there is throughout Great Britain. 
 
 132. Although it is not to be questioned, that, 
 with respect to the many millions who speak the 
 English language, the usage of London is en 
 titled to far more weight than that of any other 
 city, yet this is not the only thing to be ob- 
 served. The usage of the best society in the 
 place or district in which one resides, is not to 
 be disregarded. If our pronunciation is agreea- 
 ble to the analogy of the language, and coi> 
 formed to the practice of the best society with 
 which we have intercourse, we may have no 
 sufficient reason to change it, though it should 
 deviate, more or less, from the existing usa^-e 
 of London. A proper pronunciation is, indeed, 
 a desirable accomplishment, and is indicative 
 of a correct taste and a good education ; still it 
 ought to be remembered, that, in speech as in 
 manners, he who is the most precise is often the 
 least pleasing, and that rusticity is more excu 
 sable than affectation. 
 
 133. "For pronunciation," says Dr. Johwon,. 
 " the best general rule is to consider those as 
 the most elegant speakers who deviate least 
 from the written words." There are many 
 words of which the pronunciation in England 
 IS, at present, better conformed to the spelling 
 than it was formerly ; and the principle of con 
 formity between the manner of writing and 
 speaking the language, has been carried some 
 what farther in the United States than in Eng- 
 land. This IS a principle which seems worthy 
 of being encouraged, rather than checked. 
 
 134. Much ingenuity and labor have been 
 employed by various orthoepists, in their efforts 
 to settle the pronunciation of the language ; and 
 different systems of notation for designating tha 
 sounds of the letters have been adopted. But 
 it has been found difficult to form such a system 
 as will correctly represent all the various souivt' 
 of the letters, and not be liable to mislead ai * 
 
ORTHOiiPT AND ORTHOlPISTfc

 i such a s/stem ware formed, it would be a 
 difficult jiid delicate matter to make a correct 
 application of it to all cases. The language, 
 B8 it respects pronunciation, has many irregu- 
 larities, which cannot be subjected to any gen- 
 eral rules ; and with regard to the pronunciation 
 of particular words, the instances are numerous 
 m relation to which there is a disagreement 
 among the best orthoepists. 
 
 135. In the preparation of this work, Pao- 
 wuNciATioN has been made a special object, 
 nd has received particular attention. A promi- 
 nent feature in the plan consists in the exhibi- 
 tion of authorities respecting words of various, 
 doubtful, or disputed pronunciation; and this 
 work is so constructed as to exhibit, with re- 
 spect to all this class of words, for which a pro- 
 nouncing dictionary is chiefly wanted, the modes 
 m which they are pronounced by all the most 
 eminent English orthoepists. The number of 
 primitive words respecting which the authorities 
 are presented, amounts to upwards of two thou- 
 sand ; and, in addition to these, tliis process also 
 
 determines the pronunciation of a .arge number 
 of derivatives. As the pronunciation of these 
 words is regulated by usage, and as there is 
 a great diversity, with regard to them, both 
 among good speakers and professed orthoepists, 
 the exhibition of the different authorities seems 
 to be the most satisfactory method of treating 
 them. 
 
 136. The following Table exhibits the man- 
 ner in which the pronunciation of a numoei 
 of words is represented by Sheridan, Walker 
 Jones, Jameson, Knowles, and Smart, togethet 
 with the mode adopted in this work. Thesa 
 several orthoepists have each his own peculiar 
 system of notation ; but as their different meth- 
 ods of marking the letters cannot be hero 
 exhibited without much inconvenience, and 
 without causing great confusion to the reader 
 their respective modes, with regard to the re- 
 speUing of the words, are presented ; and 
 instead of their marks on the vowela, thosii 
 employed in this work are substituted, indicat 
 ing, in all cases, the banie sounds of the letters

 137. In relation to all the words here exhib- 
 ited, these orthoepists agree with respect to two 
 of the most important points in the pronuncia- 
 tion of words, namely, tne syllable on which 
 the accent is to be placed, and the quantity of 
 the vowel in the accented syllable. Though 
 with regard to the mode of representing the 
 pronunciation of most of the above words, there 
 is considerable diversity, yet it is doubtless true 
 that the pronunciation intended to be expressed 
 differs, in reality, much less than it would seem 
 to do; and that, in numerous instances, these 
 orthoepists agreed much better in their practice, 
 than in their mode of indicating it 
 
 138. There is an obvious difference in the 
 quantity and stress of voice with which the last 
 ■vUsbles of the words deliberaie, intimate and

 moderate, are pronounced, when verbs and when 
 adjectives. All the above ortl oepists mark the a 
 long in the last syllable of all these words when 
 used as verbs ; Jameson and Smart also mark 
 it long in all of them when adjectives ; Walker 
 shortens the o in the adjectives intimate and 
 moderate ; Sheridan and Jones change the a in 
 all these words, when adjectives, into short e as 
 Knowles also does in the words intimate and 
 moderate. But there seems to be no advantage 
 in changing the letter in such cases. It is but 
 slightly pronounced, and has not the distinct 
 sound of either short e, or short or long a ; and. 
 with respect to most of the instances in which 
 the vowels in this Dictionary have a dot placed 
 under them, they are so slightly pronounced, that 
 to mark them with a distinct sound, either Itng 
 
PKlISCirLES OF PIIONUNCIATION. 
 
 or short, would tend rather to mislead, than to 
 assist in pronouncing them. If the syllables on 
 which the primary and secondary accents fall, 
 »re correctly pronounced, the comparatively in- 
 distinct syllables will naturally be pronounced 
 fight 
 
 139. In giving tlie authorities for pronuncia- 
 lion in this Dictionary, neither the lespelling 
 Bor the notation of the orthoepists cited has 
 been generally exhibited, as it was necessary to 
 reduce them all to one system. Their precise 
 difference is not always presented with exact- 
 ness ; yet the cases of failure are not important. 
 The different editions of the authors used as 
 authorities differ in various instances ; and it is 
 sometimes impossible to ascertain whether the 
 intention of the writer has not been frustrated 
 by an error of the press. 
 
 140. Two modes of pronouncing a word are, 
 m many instances, given in this work, besides 
 the forms included within the brackets ; and 
 alternatives of this sort would have been pre- 
 sented in other cases, if different modes had 
 not been cited from respectable authorities. 
 The reader will feel perfectly authorized to 
 adopt such a form as he may choose, whether 
 it is exhibited within the brackets or out of 
 them ; and every one will probably, in some 
 cases, prefer a mode found only within the 
 brackets. The compiler has not intended, in 
 any case, to give his own sanction to a form 
 which IS not supported either by usage, au- 
 thority, or analogy. He has, however, in some 
 .nstances, in deference to the weight of au- 
 thorities, given the preference to a mode, which, 
 in the exercise of his own judgment, independ- 
 nnt of the authorities, he would not have pre- 
 ferred ; for it would be unreasonable for him to 
 make a conformity to his own taste, or to the 
 result of his own limited observation, a law to 
 those who may differ from him, and yet agree 
 with perhaps the more common usage. But, 
 
 though it has not oeen his design to maKe "\nu 
 vations, or to encourage provincial or Amencar 
 peculiarities, yet he has not always given the 
 preference to the mode of pronunciation which 
 is supported by the greatest weight of the author- 
 ities cited ; and, where orthoepists are divided, 
 he has generally been inclined to conntenance 
 tliat mode which is most conformable to analogy 
 or to orthography. 
 
 141. The English authorities most frequently 
 cited in this volume are Sheridan, Walker, 
 Peny, Jones, Enfield, Fulton and Knight, 
 Jameson, Knowles, Smart, and Reid, all of 
 whom are authors of Pronouncing Dictionaries. 
 In addition to these, various other English 
 lexicographers and orthoepists are frequently 
 brought forward, as Bailey, Johnson, Kenrick, 
 Ash, Dyche, Barclay, Entick, Scott, Nares, 
 Rees, Maunder, Crabb, and several others ; be- 
 sides the distinguished American lexicographer, 
 Dr. Webster. 
 
 142. The different English orthoepists, who 
 are made use of as authorities, are entitled to 
 very different degrees of respect. There is no 
 one of them who has obtained a. higher and more 
 widely-extended reputation than Walker ; and 
 no one appears to have bestowed longer and 
 more patient attention in studying the analogies 
 of the language, and in ascertaining the best 
 usage. But there has been considerable change 
 since his time ; and some, who have succeeded 
 him, have corrected some of his mistakes, and 
 made improvements on his system ; and they 
 may, in many cases, be considered better guides 
 as to the present usage than Walker. 
 
 143. Of the successors of Walker, Mr 
 Smart appears to have given the most care 
 fu] and discriminating attention to the subject; 
 and he may therefore be regarded as the best 
 single authority for present usage. — For fiir>

II.-ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 REMARKS ON ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 1. The orthography of the English language 
 CM beei undergoing continual changes from 
 Li3 time of its first formation to the present day ; 
 nor is there any reason to suppose that this habit 
 of change will cease, while the language con- 
 tinues to be spoken. If we look into books 
 printed in the reign of Queen Anne, we meet 
 with many words having an orthography different 
 from that in which they are now found. If we 
 carry our observation back as far as the reign of 
 Queen Elizabeth, we find the difference in or- 
 thography greatly increased ; and when, in our 
 retrospective examination, we reach the age of 
 Chaucer and Wicliffe, we find many words, 
 which, though they are words now actually in 
 use, are so disguised in their orthographical 
 form, and are of so odd and uncouth an appear- 
 ance, that they can hardly be recognized. 
 
 2. The early productions of English literature 
 which are still much read, such as the works of 
 bacon. Hooker, Shakspeare, and the common 
 version of the Bible, appear now in an orthogra- 
 phy very different from that in which they were 
 at first printed. The first four verses of the 32d 
 chapter of Deuteronomy, in the first edition of 
 the common version of the Bible, printed in 
 1611, stand thus : " Giue eare, O yee heauens, 
 and I will speake ; And heare, O earth, the 
 words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop 
 as the raine : my speach shall distill as the 
 deaw, as the smal raine vpon the tender herbe, 
 and as the showres vpon the grasse. Because 
 1 wil publish the Name of the Lord ; ascribe 
 yee greatnesse vnto our God. He is the rocke, 
 his worke is perfect: for all his wayes are 
 ludgement : A God of trueth, and without mi- 
 quity, iust and right is he." In these few lines, 
 which may be taken as a specimen of the whole, 
 there are twenty-seven instances in which the 
 words appear in an orthography different from 
 that in which they are now printed. It is not 
 uncommon to find the same word spelled in 
 more ways than one on the same page, as 
 i« genS'ally the case with works -even of the 
 
 most distinguished writers, printed in the earij 
 ages of English literature. 
 
 3. It is incumbent on a lexicographer, in ad- 
 justing the orthography of the language, to have 
 regard to etymology, analogy, and the best 
 usage of his time ; and if we examine the early 
 English dictionaries, we shall find that the or- 
 thography is conformed to the general usage of 
 the age in which they were published. Thi 
 unsettled state of orthography has long been 
 regarded as a reproach to the language. It is 
 an evil, however, which is unavoidable, and to 
 which all living languages are more or less sub- 
 ject It has arisen from the want of some fixed 
 standard, not varying like usage ; but such a 
 standard it is in vain to seek. Some ingenious 
 men have attempted to introduce a uniformity, 
 and establish an invariable standard ; but these 
 attempts have been attended with little success. 
 
 4. Johnson says, in his Preface, " In adjusting 
 the orthography, which has been to this time 
 unsettled and fortuitous, I found it necessary to 
 distinguish those irregularities that are inherent 
 in our tongue, and perhaps coeval with it, from 
 others which the ignorance or negligence of 
 later writers has produced. Every language 
 has its anomalies, which, though inconvenient, 
 and in themselves once unnecessary, must be 
 tolerated among the imperfections of human 
 things, and which require only to be regis- 
 tered, that they may not be increased, and as- 
 certained, tliat they may not be confounded 
 but every language has likewise its improprie- 
 ties and absurdities, which it is the duty of the 
 lexicographer to correct and proscribe." 
 
 5. The Dictionary of Johnson was first pub- 
 lished in 1755; and with reference to it, Mr. 
 Nares, in his " Elements of Orthoepy," published 
 in 1784, remarks, " The English Dictionary ap- 
 peared ; and, as the weight of truth and reason 
 is irresistible, its authority has nearly fixed the 
 external form of our language ; and from itf 
 decisions few appeals have yet been made." T 
 may be readily admitted tnat no ether work evel 
 
 (C)

 ORTHOGRAPHY 
 
 had so great an influence on the English la)i- 
 guage as this ; yet it is not possible that tl>e 
 work of any man, or of any body of men, should 
 so &i the external form of tlie language, as to 
 put a stop to further alterations. Johnson justly 
 says, " No dictionary of a living language ever 
 can be perfect, since, while it is hastening to 
 publication, some words are budding, and some 
 are falling away." And he also remarks, " The 
 orthography which I recommend is still contro- 
 vertible." It is undoubtedly true that there 
 never was before, during any century since the 
 first formation of the English language, so great 
 an influx of new words into it, as there has been 
 since the first appearance of Johnson's Ciction- 
 ary. Various other changes have taken place. 
 Some words, then obsolete, have been revived ; 
 some, then in use, have fallen away ; to some 
 new significations have been attached ; and 
 many have changed their orthography. 
 
 6. In adjusting the orthography of this Dic- 
 tionary, much care has been taken; in doing it, 
 attention has been paid to etymology, analogy, 
 and usage ; and in cases in which good usage is 
 divided, etymology and analogy have been con- 
 sulted in deciding disputable points. But no 
 innovation has been made with respect to in- 
 variable and settled usage. 
 
 7. Two of the most noted diversities, with 
 regard to orthography, are found in the two 
 classes of words ending in ic or ick, and in or 
 or our; as, music, public, or mvsick, puhlick; 
 favor, honor, or favour, honour. Johnson, in 
 accordance with the general, though not inva- 
 riable usage of his age, wrote tliese words with 
 the k and u. 
 
 8. The use of the k, in this class of words, 
 was laid aside by many ivriters before the time 
 of Johnson ; and it is omitted in Martin's Dic- 
 tionary, the first edition of which was published 
 ji 1749. Martin says, in his Preface, " In this 
 resoect [orthography] our dictionaries most cer- 
 tainly want a reformation ; for they all retain the 
 old way of writing technical words with the 
 redundant final k after c ; as, logick, rhetorick, 
 musick, &c., which later writers have justly dis- 
 carded, and more neatly write hgic, rhdorie, 
 music, &c. ; and accordingly they here stand in 
 that form through this Dictionary.'' 
 
 9. In the class of words referred to, the k is 
 Bti.l retained in the recent editions of Johnson's 
 Dictionary ; also in the dictionaries of Sheridsm, 
 Walker, Jameson, and Richardson ; but in most 
 of the other English dictionaries which have 
 Been published since that of Johnson, it is omit- 
 
 ted ; and Walker, although he retaite it in nit 
 Dictionary, condemns the use of it, and observes^ 
 that " the omission of it is too general to b(l 
 counteracted even by the authority of Johnson.' 
 The genera] usage is now so strongly in favor 
 of its omission, that it is high time that it shoulr 
 be excluded from the dictionaries. It is, how- 
 ever, retained in monosyllables ; as, stick, brick, 
 lock; and in some dissyllables ending in ock; as. 
 hillock, hemlock, &c. The verbs to frolic, to 
 mimic, to physic, and to traffic, are written with 
 out a final k in the present tense ; but on assum 
 ing another syllable, in forming the past tensa 
 and participles, the k must be used to keep 
 the c hard; as, trafficked, trctfflcking. 
 
 10. The question respecting the letter i', in 
 words ending in or or our, — as, favor, honor, or 
 favour, honour, — is attended with much more 
 difiiculty. Most of the words of this class are 
 originally from the Latin, and are regarded as 
 coming into the English through the French, 
 having the termination in that language of ew; 
 33, faveur, honneur ; and this is the reason as- 
 signed by Johnson for retaining the u. But he 
 is far from being consistent in applying the 
 principle ; for, with respect to the class of words 
 which have the termination or in Latin, and eur 
 in French, he gives many of them with the u, 
 and many of them without it.

 13. Th(! same principle will apply to the or- 
 thography of the last syllable of most of the 
 words in the two lists; and the inconsistency 
 will be obvious by merely comparing the words 
 anteriour and interiour, which are written by 
 Johnson with the u, with posterior and exterior, 
 which are written without it In some of the 
 recent forms and abridgments of Johnson's Dic- 
 tionary, the u is omitted in a part of the words in 
 which he inserted it Some of the English dic- 
 tionaries, which have been published since the 
 first publication of Johnson's, scrupulously fol- 
 low him generally in retaining the u ; yet they 
 omit it in the words in which he omitted it 
 Several of the English dictionaries omit it in 
 all these words, except most of the dissyllables 
 m the first of the above lists, and the following 
 words, which are not derived from the Latin: 
 behaviour, demeanour, misdemeanour, endeavour, 
 and enamour, and their derivatives, disfavour, 
 dishonour, favourable, honourable, &c. If we 
 turn from the dictionaries to inquire what is the 
 general usage of those who write the language, 
 we shall find it in a very unsettled state. In 
 the United States, it is the prevailing, though by 
 no means the universal, practice to exclude the 
 u from all this class of words. "In England," 
 Bays Mr. Smart, (1836,) "such is not the practice 
 of the day, although some years ago there was a 
 great tendency towards it The following, indeed, 
 are inclined to the Latin termination, and some 
 of them so decidedly, that to write them with our 
 would incur the opinion of great singularity, if 
 not of fault : error, emperor, governor, warrior, 
 superior, horror, tremor, dolor, tumor, tenor, 
 dangor, f vigor, savor." To these he might have 
 added a number of others found in the first of 
 the above lists, with equal propriety ; yet, in 
 England, it is the prevailing practice to retain 
 the u in most of the dissyllables in the first list, 
 and also in such of the other words as are not 
 derived from the Latin. The eye is offended at 
 seeing a word spelled in a manner to which it is 
 unaccustomed; and the eyes of most readers 
 would now be offended at seeing emperour, infe- 
 
 nour, oratour, possessowr, successour, and errout 
 written with the u ; and those of many are ot- 
 fended by seeingyaitor, honor, and savior, written 
 without it It is difficult to fix the limit for a 
 partial omission; and the rule, which entirely 
 excludes the u from this class of words, and 
 which is in accordance with tlie prevailing usage 
 in the United States, is the most convenient, i> 
 not the most unexceptionable method 
 
 RULES OF ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 14. Verbs of one syllable, ending with a sin 
 gle consonant, preceded by a single vowel, (aa 
 plan,) and verbs of two or more syllables, end- 
 ing in tlie same manner, and having the accent 
 on the last syllable, (as regret,) double the final 
 consonant of the verb, on assuming an additional 
 syllable ; as, plan, planned ; regret, regretted ; — ■ 
 but, if a diphthong precedes the last consonant, 
 (as join,) or the accent is not on the last sylla- 
 ble, (as suffer,) the consonant is not doubled ; as, 
 join, joined ; suffer, suffered. 
 
 15. There is an exception to the last clause 
 of the above rule, with respect to most of the 
 verbs ending in the letter /, which, on assuming 
 an additional syllable, are allowed, by general 
 usage, to double the I, though the accent is not 
 on the last syllable ; as, travel, travelling, trav- 
 elled, traveller; libel, libelling, libelled, libeller, 
 libellous; duel, duelling, dueller, duellist. But 
 the derivatives of parallel are written without 
 doubling the final I ; as, paralleled, unparalleled, 
 
 16. The following list comprises the verbs 
 ending in I, which, without having the accent 
 on the last syllable, yet commonly double the 
 final I: — 
 
 dishevel handsi 
 
 drivel hatch( 
 
 duel imperi 
 
 embowel jewel 
 
 enamel kenne 
 
 empanel label 
 1 equal level 
 
 gambol libel 
 I gravel marsh 
 
 grovel marve 
 
 17. The derivatives of these verbs ar« 
 spelled, in the Dictionaries of Perry and Web 
 ster, with a single I ; and this mode is also more 
 or less favored by the lexicographers Ash and 
 Walker, by Bishop Lowth, and by some othei 
 scholars ; and it evidently better acccrds with 
 the analogy of the language ; tho «gh the pre 
 vailinsr usage is to double the 2

 18. The verb to bias commonly doubles the s 
 on assuming an additional syllable ; as, hiassing, 
 biassed, biasser. The verb to kidnap, on assum- 
 ing another syllable, always doubles the p ; ant 
 the word worship also, according to genera 
 usage, does so ; as, kidnapping, kidnapped, kid- 
 napper ; worshipping, worshipped, worshipper. 
 
 19 There is some diversity in usage, with re- 
 spect to several other verbs ending in p, and 
 also with respect to several ending in t, which, 
 although the accent is not on the last syllable, 
 are sometimes allowed to double the last con- 
 sonant, when another syllable is added. But 
 the more correct and regular mode is, to write 
 them without doubling the final consonant, in 
 the following manner : — 
 
 Benefit benefited benefiting 
 
 Buffet bufifeted buifeting 
 
 Closet closeted closeting 
 
 Develop developed developing 
 
 Discomfit discomfited discomfiting 
 Envelop enveloped enveloping 
 
 Fillip filliped filliping 
 
 Gallop galloped galloping 
 
 Gossip gossiped gossiping 
 
 Limit limited limiting 
 
 Profit profited profiting 
 
 Rivet riveted riveting 
 
 Scallop scalloped scalloping 
 
 Wallop walloped walloping 
 
 20. There is a class of words, ending in tre, 
 ts centre, metre, &c., which are often written 
 tenter, meter, &c. ; but the former mode, which 
 is followed in this Dictionary, is agreeable to 
 the prevailing usage, and is supported by most 
 of the English lexicographers. 
 
 21. There is a diversity with respect to the 
 use of the letters s and r in a number of verbs 
 ending in ise or ize ; but the following rule is 
 observed in this Dictionary : — When the word 
 is a derivative of the French prendre, the termi- 
 nation is tse, as surprise, enterprise; but verbs 
 derived from Greek verbs ending in i%w, and 
 others formed after the same analogy, are writ- 
 ten with the termination ize ; as, agonize, char- 
 acterize, patronize. 
 
 22. Derivative adjectives ending in able are 
 written without an e before a; as, hlamabh, 
 movable, not blameable, moveable; except those 
 of which the primative word ends in ce or ge ; 
 in such the e is retained to soften the preceding 
 consonant ; as, peaceable, changeable. 
 
 23. Compound words formed by prefixing a 
 word or syllable to a monosyllable ending in cdl, 
 retain the double I; as, appall, befall, bethrall. 
 
 downfall, forestall, fuzzbaU, heaastall, \nstaU, m 
 thrall, laystall, miscall, overfall, recaU, saveaH 
 thunAstall, waterfall, mndfaU. — H'ithal, there 
 withal, and wherewithal, end with a single I. 
 
 24. A class of other compound words retain 
 the final double I which is found in the simple 
 words ; as, bridewell, foretell, downhill, uphill, 
 molehill, watermiU, windmill, handmill. 
 
 WORDS OF DOUBTFUL OR VARIOUS 
 ORTHOGRAPHY. 
 
 25. Very few of the words which belong to 
 the several classes referred to in the above re- 
 marks, are comprised in the following Vocabu- 
 lary ; but, with the exception of these classes, 
 this Vocabulary contains nearly all the English 
 words with regard to which a diversity of or- 
 thography is, at present, often met with. 
 
 26. The orthography found in the left-hand 
 column of the Vocabulary is deemed to be well 
 authorized ; but with respect to the authority of 
 that which stands on the right hand, there is a 
 great diversity. In some cjfces, this is nearly or 
 quite as well authorized as tliat on the left hand 
 but in some instances, it has only a feeble sup- 
 port, and is rarely met with. 
 
 27. In some cases, words are so variously 
 affected by etymology, analogy, lexicographical 
 authority, and general usage, that it is difficult 
 to determine what orthography is best supported. 
 This is the fact with respect to the words abridg- 
 ment or abridgement, bass or base, (in music,) 
 chintz or chints, connection or connexion, controller 
 or coihptroller, contemporary or cotem,porary, de- 
 spatch or dispatch, dexterous or dextrous, diocese 
 or diocess, divest or devest, duehy or dvtchy, 
 guarantee or guaranty, hinderance or hindrance, 
 holiday or holyday, jail or gaol, judgment or 
 judgement, marquis or marquess, loadstone or 
 lodeslone, loadstar or lodestar, meagre or meager, 
 naught or nought, preterit or preterite, pumpkin or 
 pompion, recognizance or recognisance, sceptic or 
 skeptic, strew or straw, thresh or thrash, waive or 
 wave, (to put off,) woe or wo, yelk or yoUc, and 
 various others. — See the following words in 
 the Dictionary : Despatch, Guarantee, Judg- 
 ment, Sceptic, Souped, Soothe, and Trav 
 
 ELLER. 
 
 28. There is a class of words which have in 
 their derivation, a twofold origin, from the 
 Latin and the French languages, and are ir- 
 differently written with the first syllal e en c» 
 
WORDS OF DOUBTFUL OR VARIOUS ORTHOlxRAI IIT 
 
 m, the former being derived from the French, 
 and the latter from the Latin. With respect to 
 some of these, it is difficult to determme ^which 
 form is best supported by usage. This is the 
 •act in relation to the words enclose or inclose, 
 inquire or enquire, insure or ensure, and several 
 others. A few of these words, respecting which 
 the two forma are about equally authorized, are 
 placed in the left-hand column in each mode, 
 and stand in a corresponding manner in the Dic- 
 tionary : but those which are not repeated under 
 the two initial letters E and /, stand, with tlie 
 orthography which is most approved, in the left- 
 .4and column. There is a class of chemical terms, 
 (most of which have been recently introduced 
 mto the language,) which have the termina- 
 tion ine or in; as, chlorine, iodine, olivine; or 
 cMorin, iodin, olivin. They are often seen in 
 scientific works in both forms ; but m this Dic- 
 tionary the final e is retained in this class of 
 words. 
 
 29. There are some words, of which the 
 present established orthography is at variance 
 with the most approved dictionaries. This is 
 true with respect to the words chemistry, chemist, 
 dndeer, scythe, caste, in the sense of a class or 
 tribe, and forte, denoting a strong side, or that 
 in which one excels. The orthography of these 
 words which is here countenanced, though dif- 
 ferent from that best supported by the diction- 
 
 aries, is the one which is now estattlished by 
 general usage. 
 
 30. Although the orthography of the word show 
 as here exhibited, is uniformly supported by the 
 best dictionaries, and also best corresponds to its 
 pronunciation, yet the other form, shew, inaintaina 
 its ground by a usage quite as common with the 
 best authors. — See Snow, in the Dictionary 
 
 31. With respect to the word mosquito or mus- 
 quito, which appears in such a variety of forms, 
 the spelling here preferred, though little sup 
 ported by the dictionaries, is used in works of 
 science. The form mosquito is the orthogra- 
 phy of the Spanish and Portuguese languages, 
 from which the word is derived, and the one 
 commonly made use of with respect to various 
 geographical places, to which the term is applied. 
 
 32. The two difierent modes of spelling a 
 few of the words in the Vocabulary, are in es 
 tablished usage, and one is to be preferred to 
 the other according to the sense in which the 
 word is used ; as, for example, the orthography 
 ofjlour instead of flower, though not recognized 
 by Johnson, is now well established, when the 
 word is used to denote the edible part of corn , 
 also the orthography of dye instead of die, in the 
 sense of color, or to tinge with color, is in com- 
 mon and good use ; yet the forms flower and dit 
 are unquestioned, when the words are used is 
 other senses.

III. -ENGLISH GRAMMAR. 
 
 Iw flus Dictionary care has been taken to give 
 lIL the irregular grammatical forms of words. 
 All the verbs of the language which are often 
 met with, whether regular or irregular, are con- 
 jugated ; the plural forms of irregular nouns are 
 exhibited ; and occasional observations are made 
 in relation to the grammatical construction and 
 nse of words. 
 
 It is not deemed expedient to give here any 
 general system or outline of grammar ; but the 
 design is merely to furnish, on various topics of 
 practical grammar, some notices and remarks, 
 which could not properly be introduced into the 
 body of the Dictionary, and which may facilitate 
 the use of the work. 
 
 The parts of speech m the English language 
 ere commonly reckoned nine, or, if the parti- 
 ticiple is considered a distinct part of speech, 
 ten; namely, the Article, Noun, Pronoun, Ad- 
 jective, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Conjunction, 
 Preposition, and Interjection. 
 
 THE ARTICLE. 
 
 The article is a word prefixed to nouns to 
 point them out, or to limit their signification. 
 The articles are a, or an, and the ; as, a book, 
 an apple, the man. — For the use of the arti- 
 cles, see A, An, and The, in the Dictionary. 
 
 THE NOUN. 
 
 A noun, or substantive, is the name of any 
 thing that exists, or of which we have any 
 idea. Proper nouns are the names of individ- 
 uals, whether persons or things ; as, Alexan- 
 der, America, London. Common nouns are the 
 Dames of genera or classes. English common 
 nouns are the appellatives or substantives of 
 the English language, or are such as are con- 
 tained in dictionaries of the language. 
 
 English nouns are mostly formed by affixing 
 to the radical parts of words the terminations 
 
 an, ance, ant, or, ard, art, ary, eer, ent, er, ia 
 ist, ive, or, ater, ate, ee, ite, acy, age, ancy, enoi, 
 ency, head, hood, ion, ity, ism, meni, many, neia, 
 on, ry, ship, t, th, tude^ ty, we, y, dom, ciUe, cle, 
 d, U, el, in, ine, kin, let, ling, ock, vie. 
 
 Nouns have three cases, nominative, possess- 
 ive, and objective ; three genders, masculine, femr 
 inine, and neuter; and two numbers, singvlar 
 and plural. 
 
 The plural number is generally formed by 
 adding s to the singular; as, hook, books; dove, 
 doves. But if the singular ends in s, ss, sh, ch 
 soft, or X, the plural is formed by the addition 
 of es ; as, rebus, rebuses; mass, masses; ktsh, 
 lashes ; church, churches ; fox, foxes. If the sin- 
 gular ends in ch hard, the plural is formed by 
 adding s only ; as, monarch, monarchs. If the 
 singular ends in o, preceded by another vowel, 
 the plural is formed by the addition of s ; as, 
 folio, folios ; cameo, cameos; bamboo, bamboos; 
 embryo, embryos ; but if the final o is preceded 
 by a consonan'-, the plural is commonly formed 
 by adding es; as, cargo, cargoes; hero, heroes. 
 The following nouns, however, canto, cento, grot- 
 to, junto, portico, rotunda, salvo, solo, tyro, duode- 
 cimo, octavo, quarto, and some others derived from 
 foreign languages, and hardly Anglicized, as al 
 bino, domino, &c., commonly have their plural 
 formed by tlie addition of s only to the singular; 
 as, canto, cantos. But there are some, respect 
 ing which usage is not uniform. We some- 
 times see the plural of duodecimo, octavo, and 
 quarto, written with the addition of es, thus, du- 
 odedmoes, odavoes, quartoes ; and we also some- 
 times see the plural of volcano written volcanos. 
 
 There is a class of nouns, forming the names 
 of various arts and sciences, which have a plural 
 termination in ics, but have no singular termi- 
 nation ; as, ethics, jnathematics, mechanics, meta 
 physics, mnemonics, politics, &c. All nouns ot 
 this class are generally considered by gramma- 
 rians as properly plural ; though we sometime« 
 see them, or some of them, joined to verbs ir 
 the singular number by respectable -wnt^ra. 
 
THE NOUN; THE PRONOUN; THE ADJECTIVE; THE VERB. 
 
 x>l 
 
 Nouns of the singular number ending in y 
 iflreceded by a consonant, form their plurals by 
 changing y into ies; as, lady, ladies; body, 
 bodies ; but those ending in y preceded by a 
 vowel, form their plurals regularly, by the addi- 
 tion of s only to the singular ; as, valley, val- 
 leys ; attorney, attorneys, &c. These plurals are 
 sometimes enoneously written vaUies, attomies, 
 &c. 
 
 There is a class of nouns ending in /, or fe, 
 VIZ., beef, cay, df, half, knife, leaf, life, loaf, self, 
 theaf, shelf, wife, wolf, which form their plurals 
 by changing/, or fe, into ves ; as, beeves, calves, 
 &c. The word wharf, according to the pre- 
 vailing American usage, is conformed to this 
 class, having for its plural wharves ; though, ac- 
 cording to English usage, the plural is wharfs. 
 — Staff commonly has staves in the plural ; but 
 other nouns ending in ff, and also in J, except 
 those above enumerated, form their plurals reg- 
 ularly, by adding s to the singular; as, muff, 
 muffs ; proof, proofs. Sue. 
 
 There is a considerable number of words 
 derived from the Greek and Latin languages, 
 which are often used in English, and are more 
 or less Anglicized, and of which the Greek and 
 LAtin plurals are sometimes used, and sometimes 
 plurals formed according to the analogy of the 
 English language. Of this class are encomium, 
 memorandum, medium, radius, dogma, of which 
 the Latin plurals are encomia^ memoranda, me- 
 dia, radii, dogmata ; the English, encomiums, 
 
 emorandums, mediums, radiuses, dogmas. The 
 wo plurals are generally given, in this Dic- 
 tionary, under such words as admit the use of 
 Doth. 
 
 There are some words which have the plural 
 form, but which are used in both the singular 
 and the plural number, or respecting the number 
 of which there is a want of agreement among 
 grammarians. Of this class are alms, bdhws, 
 gallows, means, news, and pains. — See these 
 words in the Dictionary. 
 
 Nouns formed by the addition of ful (from 
 the adjective full) to another word, as mouthful, 
 spoonful, are regarded as indivisible compomids, 
 and form their plurals in a regular manner by 
 the addition of »; as, movthfuls, spoonfuls. But 
 some compound nouns, which have the parts of 
 which they are compounded connected by hy- 
 phens, have the plural termination affixed to 
 the first part ; as, aide-die-camp, aides-de-camp ; 
 tousin-german, cousins-german ; court-^martial, 
 taurts-marticd ; father-in-law, fathers-in-law.

 THE PRONOUN. 
 
 The different kinds of pronouns are specified 
 in the notice of the word Pronoon, in tiie Die 
 tionary, where they are also sa orally noticed 
 
 THE ADJECTIVE. 
 
 An adjective is a word added to a noun to 
 express its quality, or limit its meaning; as, 
 a good man ; a green field ; three apples. 
 
 A great part of the adjectives of the English 
 language are formed by aflSxing to the radical 
 parts of words the terminations ac, al, an, or 
 ary, en, ic, ical, id, He, ine, ory, ate, ful, ose, ous, 
 some, y, ish, like, ly, ive, able, ible, ubk, less. 
 
 Most adjectives have two variations from the 
 simple or positive form of the word, called de- 
 grees of comparison, namely, the comparativ^i 
 and superlative. 
 
 In words of one syllable the comparative is 
 commonly formed by adding r or er to the posi- 
 tive ; as, wise, wiser ; soft, softer ; and the super- 
 lative, by adding st or est; as, unse, wisest; soft, 
 softest. 
 
 Adjectives of more than one syllable are com- 
 monly compared by prefixing more and most to 
 the positive ; as, useful, more useful, most use- 
 ful. — The termination ish, annexed to the pos- 
 itive, denotes a diminution of the quality; as, 
 blaek, blackish. 
 
 Several adjectives form their degrees of com- 
 parison in an irregular manner. These are 
 good, bad, little, many, much, near, late, and 
 old. — See these words in the Dictionary. 
 
 THE VERB. 
 
 A verb is a part of speech winch signifies to 
 be, to do, or to suffer; or it is a word by means 
 of which something is affirmed respecting some 
 person or thing ; as, I am ; you hear ; he is m- 
 stntded. 
 
 The person or thing respecting which any 
 thing is affirmed, is called the svlyect, A verb 
 in the infinitive mode is not connected with any 
 subject, and no affirmation can be made by iL 
 
 Verbs are divided into active or transitive, and 
 neuter or intransitive. In this Dictionary, as 
 well as in most other modern English diction- 
 aries, verbs to which v. a. is annexed are active, 
 or transitive, verbs ; and those to which v. n. u 
 annexed are neuier, or intransitive, verbs. 
 
 An active, or transitive, verb expresses an ac- 
 tion passing from an agent or actor to somt 
 
(lu 
 
 ENGLISH GRAMMAR. 
 
 object acted upon; and it requires the addition 
 of an object to complete the sense ; as, " The 
 master teaches tiiepupU," or "The master tecKhes 
 Im." Here pupil and him denote objects acted 
 upon, and are in the objective case, governed 
 ay the active or transitive verb teach. 
 
 A neuter, or intfunsitive, verb expresses neither 
 action nor possiun, but being or state of being ; 
 and it does not require the addition of an object 
 to complete the sense ; as, " He is ; " " The sun 
 thiues." — There is a class of verbs which are 
 generally ranked among neuter verbs, and which 
 denote action confined to the subject, without 
 any object acted upon; as, "I run;" "He 
 walks." These are, by some grammarians, 
 styled active-intransitive verhs, in distinction 
 from adive-transUive verbs. 
 
 A passive verb is formed by associating the 
 perfect participle of an active verb with some 
 tense of the verb to be ; and it implies an object 
 acted upon, and an agent by which it is acted 
 upon ; as, " Ctesar was slain by Brutus." 
 
 A regular verb is one which forms its imper- 
 fect tense and perfect participle by adding d or 
 td to the present ; as, Icme, loved; coll, called. 
 
 An irregular verb is one which does not form 
 its imperfect tense and perfect participle by 
 adding rf or ed to the present ; as, present write, 
 imperfect wrote, perfect participle written. 
 
 All the verbs of the English language, which 
 are often used, whether regular or irregular, 
 are carefully conjugated, where they severally 
 occur, in this Dictionary. It is, tlierefore, not 
 deemed necessary to insert here a table of 
 irregular verbs. 
 
 Auxiliary verbs, called also helping verbs, are 
 those by means of which English verbs are 
 prmcipally conjugated. They are do, be, have, 
 must, may, can, shall, leiU, with their inflections. 
 Might, could, should, and would, wliich are re- 
 garded as the imperfect or past tenses of may, 
 can, shall, and unll, commonly imply past time ; 
 yet they are sometimes used in the conditional 
 present and future tenses. 
 
 Many verbs are formed by affixing, to the 
 redical parts of words, ate, en, fy, ish, ise, ize. 
 
 The Conjugation op Verbs. 
 
 The conjugation of a verb is the regular com- 
 bination and arrangement of its several num- 
 bers, persons, moods, and tenses. 
 
 The conjugation of an active verb is styled 
 the ACTIVE VOICE, and that of a oassive verb, 
 
 ihe PASSIVE VOICE 
 
 The auxiliary and the active verb To Uavi 
 is conjugated in the following manner: —

 verbs in the subjunctive mood in the same man-

 So also, " If I am, if thou art, if he is; if we

 THE PARTICIPLE. 
 
 The partidple is, by some grammarians, con- 
 sidered as a distinct part of speech, and by 
 others it is regarded only as a form of the verb. 
 It is derived from the verb, and partakes of the 
 signification and properties of the verb. It is 
 an adjective form of the verb, and, like an ad- 
 jective, belongs to a noun ; and it signifies 
 doing, being, or sufiering, without afiinning any 
 thing. It becomes a noun by prefixing to it 
 the definite article the. — There are three par- 
 ticiples : the present, ending in ing, as moving ; 
 the perfect, past, or passive, ending (if the verb 
 is regular) in erf, as moved ; and the compound 
 perfect, as hiving moved. 
 
 The participle in ing, though properly and 
 generally active, is sometimes used in a pas- 
 live sense ; as, « Forty and six years was this 
 temple in buHding." John IL — « The nation 
 
 had cried out loudly against the eri;ne while ii 
 was committing." Bolingbroke. — " My Lives ar> 
 reprinting.^ Johnson. — Within a few years, n 
 strange and awkward neologism has been intro 
 duced, by which the present passive partidple is 
 substituted, in such cases as the above, for the 
 participle in ing; and in the above examples 
 instead of " in building" " was committing^ 
 and " are reprinting^' the modern innovators 
 would say, "in being built," "was being com- 
 mitted," " are being reprinted" This new form 
 has been used by some respectable writem. 
 The following are instances of it : " For tliota 
 who are being educated in our seminaries." ]i 
 Sovthey. — " It was being uttered." Coleridge. ■ 
 "The foundation was being laid." Brit. Critir 
 — "It [TSTVfi/j.ivog'] signifies properly, though in 
 uncouth English, one who is being beaten." Mrp. 
 WTwtely. — " The bridge is being built, and 
 other phrases of the like kind, have pained the 
 eye," D. Booth. — This phrase " in uncouth Eng- 
 lish " has been censured by many, and defended 
 by some. The Eclectic Review remarks, « That 
 a need of this phrase, or an equivalent one, is 
 felt, is sufiiciently proved by the extent to which 
 it is used by educated persons and respectable 
 writers." 
 
 THE ADVERB. 
 
 An adverb is a word added to a verb, an ad- 
 jective, and sometimes to another adverb, to 
 express some quality or circumstance respecting 
 it; as, "He writes well;" "A truly excellent 
 scholar;" "He speaks very correctly." A great 
 many adverbs are formed from adjectives by the 
 addition of ly, or by changing eto y ; as, wise 
 un'sely ; noble, nobly. 
 
 THE PREPOSITIOJt. 
 
 Prepositions show the relations betiveeu 
 words, and are generally placed before noui>ii 
 and pronouns in the objective case. 
 
 There are many nouns, adjectives, verbs, and 
 participles, which are followed by their appro- 
 priate prepositions; and there are instances in 
 which it is a matter of some difficulty to de- 
 termine what preposition is most suitable to be 
 used. The following list comprises a consider- 
 able number of words, with the proper preooai

rV. -ORIGIN, FORMATION, AND ETYMOLOGY OP 
 THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 
 
 1. The earliest authentic event recorded in 
 the history of Britain, was the landing of Julius 
 Ctesar on the eastern shore, fifty-five years be- 
 'fore the Christian era. The country was then 
 finhabited by the Britons, a Celtic race, who 
 continued to hold possession of it till the mid- 
 <dle of the fifth century. Of their language, 
 ■styled the Celtic, or, with reference to Britain, 
 the British, few traces now exist in England, 
 -except in geographical names, as those of some 
 'towns, mountains, rivers, lakes, &c. ; but the re- 
 mains of it are to be found in the Gaelic of 
 "the Scottish Highlands, in the Welsh, the Erse 
 or Irish, and the Manks language, in the Isle 
 of Man. 
 
 2. About the middle of the fifth century, 
 ■the Saxons from Lower Germany invaded 
 I the island ; and, before many years elapsed, 
 -they established their authority over the most 
 
 of that part of it which is now called England ; 
 •and the Britons were driven into Wales. From 
 a leading branch of the Saxons, called Angles, 
 the country received its name of England, and 
 the new language was denominated from them 
 the Anglo-Saxon; often also called simply the 
 Saxon. At the time of their invasion, the Sax- 
 ons were an illiterate people ; but they after- 
 wards cultivated learning to some extent ; and 
 among their principal writers were Gildas, Cted- 
 I mon, ^Ifric, Bede, and King Alfred. 
 
 3. The Anglo-Saxon dynasty, after having 
 continued about six hundred yeai-s, was tenni- 
 nated, in 1066, by the invasion of William, Duke 
 of Normandy, commonly called the Conqueror. 
 The Norman French now became the language- 
 of the court and the upper classes, while the Sax- 
 on continued to be the only -speech of the com- 
 mon people or peasantry. In the course of time, 
 tliese two languages were blended into one, and 
 became the basis of the present English. "The 
 Raxon power," Dr. Bosworth remarks, " ceased 
 when William the Conqueror ascended the 
 flit >no. but not the language : for ifl.nglo-c5axon, 
 
 after rejecting or changing many ot its inflec 
 tions, continued to be spoken by the eld inhab 
 itants till the time of Henry III., A. D. 1268. 
 What was written after this period has gener 
 ally so great a resemblance to ojr present lan- 
 guage, that it may evidently be called Englisn." 
 The following is the statement of Hippisley, a 
 late English writer : " Although neither the ori 
 gin nor subsequent progress of English can be 
 assigned to any specified dates, yet, for the sake 
 of perspicuity, we may (as in the case of general 
 history) establish arbitrary and conventional di- 
 visions. Thus we say, generally speaking, that 
 about 1150 may be dated the decline of pure 
 Saxon ; about 12.50 the commencement of Eng- 
 lish ; ana tliat the century between these two 
 dates was occupied by a kino of semi-Saxon 
 language." 
 
 4. After the Norman conquest, the Saxon 
 laws were continued in force, and were trans- 
 lated into Norman French. « The proceedings," 
 as stated by Blackstone, (Commentaries, Book 
 III. chap. 21,) " were all written, as indeed all 
 public proceedings were, in Nonnan or law 
 French, and even the arguments of the counse' 
 and the decisions of the court were in the same 
 barbarous dialect This continued till the reign 
 of Edward HI., who, having employed his arms 
 successfully in subduing the crown of Prance, 
 thought it unbecoming the dignity of the victois 
 to use any longer the language of a vanquished 
 country. By a statute, therefore, passed in the 
 36th year of his reign [1362,] it was enacted, 
 that, for the future, all pleas should be pleaded, 
 shown, defended, answered, debated, and judged, 
 in the English tongue, but be entered and en- 
 rolled in Latin." This is the date of the tri- 
 umph of the English language over the French 
 in the English courts of law. 
 
 5. In the fourteenth century flourish-vl Chau- 
 cer, the great early English poet ; also Sir John 
 Mandeville, the traveller, and John Wi' lifte, the 
 reformer, both distinguished as early Eng eh 
 
ORIGIN, FORMATION, AND ETYMOLOGY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. I] 
 
 prose miters. But the times, long after the age 
 of Chaucer, continued barbarous, and, till after 
 the nvention of pnnting and the revival of 
 learning, few writers appeared to cultivate and 
 improve the language, or to enrich it witli val- 
 uable works. It was in the sixteenth century, 
 during the reign of the Tudor family, that the 
 language assumed, substantially, the external 
 form in which it is now found, and became en- 
 riched by many productions which still form a 
 part of its standard literature. 
 
 6. The Saxon or Anglo-Saxon language, 
 which 18 a branch of the Teutonic, the lan- 
 guage of the Teutones, a people who inhabited 
 a large part of central Europe, while the Celts 
 overspread the west, is the parent language of 
 the English. Some of the other north European 
 languages, of the great Teutonic or Gotho- 
 Tentonic family, which have contributed to 
 enrich the English tongue, are the Danish, 
 Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic, of the 
 Scandinavian branch, and the German and 
 Dutch, of the Germanic branch. The south 
 European languages which have furnished the 
 largest contributions, are the Greek, Latin, and 
 French ; especially the Latin, through the me- 
 dium of the French or Norman French ; also 
 the Italian, the Spanish, and various other lan- 
 guages, have afforded more or less. 
 
 7. The Anglo-Saxon is the language to which 
 the English owes its general form and structure, 
 all the particles on which its syntax depends, 
 all its pronouns and conjunctions ; nearly all its 
 prepositions, most of its monosyllables, and, 
 indeed, all the words that are most frequently 
 repeated on the same page. 
 
 8. The predominance of Anglo-Saxon will 
 readily be seen by analyzing a passage in any 
 common English writer. Of the sixty-six words 
 which are comprised in the Lord's prayer, there 
 are only five that are not Anglo-Saxon. Mr. 
 Sharon Turner, in his " History of the Anglo- 
 Saxons,'' has adduced from popular English 
 writers sixteen extracts, in which he has dis- 
 criminated, by Italics, the words which are An- 
 glo-Saxon ftom those of foreign origin. Two 
 of his extracts are here quoted, and also the 
 results of the comparisons of all of them are 
 given. The words which are not Anglo-Saxon 
 are in Italics in the following extracts: — 
 
 9. " And they made ready the preseni against 
 Joseph came at noon ; for they heard that they 
 ohould eat bread there. And when Joseph came 
 home, they brought him the present which was 
 in their hand into the house, and bowed them- 
 
 selves to him to the earth. And he asked them 
 of their welfare, and said. Is your father well, 
 the old man of whom ye spake.' Is he yet 
 alive? And they answered. Thy servant our 
 father is in good health, he is yet alive. And 
 they bowed down their heads, and made obei- 
 sance. And he lift up his eyes, and saw his 
 brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said. Is 
 this your younger brother, of whom ye spakd 
 unto me ? And he said, God be gracious unto 
 thee, my son." — Gen. xliiil 25 — ^29. 
 
 10. " Of genius, that power which constitviea 
 a poet ; that quality without which judgment is 
 cold and knowledge is inert ; that energy which 
 collects, combines, amplifies, and animMes; the 
 superiority must, with some hesitation, be al- 
 lowed to Diyden. It is not to be inferred, that 
 of this poetical vigor Pope had only a little, be- 
 cause Dryden had more ; for every other writer 
 since Milton must give place to Pope ; and 
 even of Dryden it must be said, that if he haa 
 brighter paragraphs, he has not better poems." 
 — Johnson. 
 
 11. In tlie following table, the figures in the 
 left-hand column show the whole number of 
 words in the above two, and also in the four- 
 teen other, extracts or passages from popular 
 English writers; and those in the right-hanc

 sixteen passages, the proporticn not Saxon ia 
 somewhat less than one fifth. It is to be ob- 
 served, that, in this computation, every repetition 
 of a word is counted. In the verses quoted from 
 Genesis, the word and, for example, ia repeated 
 and therefore counted, twelve times.

 ORIGIN, FORMATION, AND ETYMOLOGT 
 
 13. In the first chapter of the common version 
 of St John's Gospel, there are one thousand 
 &nd three words, of which, exceptmg fifty-three 
 proper names, there arc only fifty-five that are 
 not Anglo-Saxon. In this chapter the particle the 
 occurs sixty-eight times ; and, sixty-one times ; 
 of, thirty-nine times ; that, nineteen times ; unto, 
 fifteen times ; to, tliirteen times. Of the three 
 personal pronouns, /, thou, and he, including 
 their oblique forms, those of the first person 
 occur thirty-three times ; those of the second, 
 thirty times ; those of the third, eighty times. 
 The verb to be, in its different inflections, occurs 
 forty-six times. All these words, of so frequent 
 occurrence, are Anglo-Saxon. There is, per- 
 haps, no book in the English language in which 
 Anglo-Saxon words more abound than in the 
 common version of the Bible. Works which 
 treat of the common affairs of life, have the 
 greatest proportion of sucli words, and scientific 
 works, the least. 
 
 14. " If we look not merely at the number of 
 the words which the Anglo-Saxon has contrib- 
 uted to the English, but to the kinds of words, as 
 well as to the share it has had in its formation 
 and development, we shall at once see that tliere 
 is no comparison between the importance of 
 this and that of any other element. English 
 grammar is almost exclusively occupied with 
 what is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Our chief pe- 
 culiarities of structure and of idiom are essen- 
 tially Anglo-Saxon ; while almost all the classes 
 of words, which it is the office of grammar to 
 investigate, are derived from that language. 
 And though these peculiarities of structure may 
 occupy little space, and tliese words be very 
 few compared with those to be found in John- 
 son's Dictionary, they enter most vitally into the 
 constitution of the language, and bear a most 
 important part in shaping and determining its 
 character. Thus what few inflections we have 
 are all Anglo-Saxon. The English genitive, the 
 general modes of forming the plural of nouns, 
 and the terminations by which we express the 
 comparative and superlative of adjectives, er 
 and est ; the inflections of the pronouns ; of the 
 second and third persons, present and imperfect, 
 sf the verbs ; of the preterits and participles of 
 'he verbs, whether regular or irregular ; and the 
 most frequent termination of our adverbs {ly), are 
 all Anglo-Saxon. The nouns, too, derived from 
 Latin and Greek, receive the Anglo-Saxon ter- 
 minations of the genitive and the plural, while 
 the preterits and participles of verbs, derived 
 from the same sources, take Anglo-Saxon inflec- 
 
 tions. As to the parts of speecli, those wtuci 
 occur most frequently, and are individually o 
 most importance, are almost wholly Anglo-Sax 
 on. Such are our articles and definitives geu 
 erally ; as, an, the, this, that, these, those, many 
 few, some, one, none ; the adjectives whose com 
 paratives and superlatives are irregularly formed, 
 and which are, in every language, among the 
 most ancient, comprehensive in meaning, and 
 extensively used ; the separate words more and 
 most, by which we as often express the forma 
 of comparison as by distinct terminations ; all 
 our pronouns, personal, possessive, and inter 
 rogative ; nearly every one of our so-called ir- 
 regular verbs, including all the auxOiaries 
 have, be, shall, will, may, can, must, by which 
 we express the force of the principal varieties 
 of mood and tense ; all the adverbs most fre 
 quently employed, and the prepositions and con 
 junctions almost without exception." .... 
 " The English language consists of about 
 38,000 words. This includes, of course, not 
 only radical words, but all derivatives, except 
 the preterits and participles of verbs ; to which 
 must be added some terms, which, though set 
 down in the dictionaries, are either obsolete, oi 
 have never ceased to be considered foreign. 
 Of these about 23,000, or nearly five eighths, 
 are of Anglo-Saxon origin In Bos- 
 worth's Anglo-Saxon Lexicon, there are from 
 25,000 to 28,000 words, counting, of course, 
 compound words as well as roots. Supposing 
 one fifth of these obsolete, there would remain 
 nearly the numbers already stated." — Edin- 
 burgh Review, vol. Ixx. 
 
 15. "The peculiar structure of the English 
 language is far from having been investigated, as 
 yet, with that degree of attention and accuracy 
 that it deserves. Among other things, we do 
 not find that any grammarian has been at the 
 pams to take a full comparative view of its two 
 great component parts ; by which we mean, 
 on the one hand, those words that are derived 
 from the Saxon, Danish, and other noi-thern lan- 
 guages, and, on the other hand, those from the 
 Greek, Latin, French, and otlier idioms of the 
 south of Europe. These two sets of vocables 
 are so dissimilar from each other, that they ap- 
 pear, at first view, incapable of being amalga- 
 mated together, so as to form an harmonious 
 whole ; yet who is there tliat can read, feel, 
 and understand, and does not admire the sub- 
 lime harmony which Milton, Dryden, Pope^ 
 Shakspeare, Bolingbroke, and the other immor" 
 tal poets and prose writers of Great Britain 
 
OF THE ENGLISH LAMGUAGE. 
 
 :ia 
 
 •ave produced out of those discordant ele- 
 ments ? To analyze, therefore, those elements, 
 from which have resulted such inconceivable 
 eflfecta, is well worth the trouble of the gram- 
 marian and philologer; and the interesting dis- 
 coveries to which such an inquiry will lead, 
 will amply repay their learned labors. — As far 
 as we have been able to judge from a superfi- 
 cial investigation of the subject, we are apt to 
 believe that the English words of northern deri- 
 vation are to those derived from the ancient, as 
 well as the modern languages of Southern Eu- 
 rope, in the proportion of something more than 
 three, but not quite as much as four, to one. As 
 the soutliern words are, in general, polysyllabic, 
 and make a conspicuous figure wherever they 
 occur, many are apt to think their number 
 greater than on examination it really appears 
 to be." — P. S. Duponceau. 
 
 16. The number of words belongmg to the 
 English language has never been accurately 
 ascertained, and it is difficult to ascertain it 
 with exactness ; for it is difficult to form and 
 apply the rules for computing the number. 
 The number which is stated in the preceding 
 extract from the Edinburgh Review, is thirty- 
 eight thousand, which is considerably less than 
 the number found in Johnson's Dictionary, as it 
 was left by him. Of the great number of words 
 which have been introduced into the language, 
 in the various sciences, since the first publica- 
 tion of Johnson's Dictionary, very few are of 
 Anglo-Saxon origin. By adopting so restricted 
 B mode of computing the number of English 
 words, as to exclude all compound and obsolete 
 words, and all words introduced by the arts 
 and sciences within the past century, and thus 
 to reduce the number to 38,000, the proportion 
 of Anglo-Saxon words would probably not be 
 far from that above stated ; that is, five eighths. 
 The computation of Mr. Duponceau of the 
 proportion between the two classes of English 
 words, those of northern and those of southern 
 derivation, must have been formed, not by 
 ana.yzing the vocabulary of an English dic- 
 tionary, but by examining the words as they 
 occur on the pages of English books ; and, as 
 Anglo-Saxon words are much more frequently 
 repeated than those of a different origin, there 
 may be no material inconsistency between his 
 computation and that of the Edinburgh Re- 
 riew. 
 
 17. The fol owing are the pnnoipal Angh- 
 Saxon prefixes namely, o, be, em, m, fore^ im, 
 m,i» oti/, over un, and under; as ahead, 6e- 
 
 friend, embody, enMe, forehoie, imbosom, ■nta- 
 deed, outio, owracc, unbind, unlike, undergc. 
 
 18. Some of the common Anglo-Saxon termi' 
 nations are the foUowmg, namely, er, fid, less 
 ly, ness, ship ; as, writer, mindful, helpless, just 
 iyi goodness, partnersAip. 
 
 19. The contributions of the Latin language 
 to the English, are next, in importance and 
 amount, to those of the Anglo-Saxon; and these 
 contributions came chiefly through the medium 
 of the French, or Norman French, in conse- 
 quence of the Norman conquest. It has been 
 stated by some philologists, that the English 
 language is indebted to the Latin for the greater 
 part of its vocabulary. This, however, ia 
 greatly exaggerated statement ; yet the contribu 
 tions from that language are great and important, 
 and they enter extensively into the formation 
 and etymology of English words. The Latin 
 has furnished a large portion of the abstract and 
 general terms, especially in the departments of 
 theology, moral and political philosophy, and all 
 the moral sciences ; also a great part of the 
 terms used in polite literature, and the lan- 
 guage of polite life. A great part of the mili- 
 tary terms in English, come directly from the 
 French. 
 
 20. The following are Latin prefixes : a, ab, 
 abs, from ; as, avert, aijure, aistract ; — ad, a, 
 ac, of, ag, al, an, ap, ar, as, at, to ; as, adduce,

 03. To the Greek, the English language is 
 indebted for most of the terms in physical 
 science, and, indeed, for a great part of the 
 terms employed in all the arts and sciences. 
 
 23. The following are Greek prefixes : a, (a,) 
 trirJiout; aa, acephalous; — ana, (dfd,) through,

v.— ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND 
 AMERICANISMS. 
 
 1. The English language, from the time of 
 is first formation, has been subject to continual 
 ehanges. Old words have been, from time to 
 lime, falling away, and new ones have been 
 formed and brought into use. A large part of 
 the words found in the early productions of Eng- 
 lish literature, such as those of Peter Langtoft, 
 Robert of Gloucester, Robert Langland, (the 
 reputed author of " Piers Ploughman,") Gower, 
 Chaucer, Wicliffe, and Mandeville, are now ob- 
 solete ; and in order to understand these works, 
 further assistance is necessary than is afforded 
 Oy modern dictionaries and grammars. Very 
 tew of the English writers who preceded the 
 reign of Elizabeth, are now much read ; and the 
 obsolete words which their works contain may 
 properly be consigned to glossaries accompany- 
 ing the works, or to dictionaries of archaic 
 words. 
 
 2. Several of these early productions have 
 Been published with glossaries attached to them, 
 as the Chronicles of Peter Langtoft and Robert 
 of Gloucester, by Hearne ; and the works of 
 Chaucer, by Tyrrwhit Glossaries have also 
 been appended to Spenser and Shakspeare. 
 Some works of a more general nature, relating 
 to obsolete or archaic words, have, not long 
 amce, appeared ; as " Nares's Glossary or Col- 
 lection of Words, Phrases, &c., found in Shak- 
 speare and his Contemporaries," and Toone's 
 '•Glossary and Etymological Dictionary of 
 Obsolete and Uncommon Words." Jamieson's 
 « Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Lan- 
 guage " also contains numerous archaic, as well 
 aj9 provincial, words. Boucher's « Glossary of 
 Archaic and Provincial Words " (designed to be 
 a large work in 4to.) was commenced in 1832 ; 
 but only two numbers of it have been published. 
 The publication, in a series of numbers, of Hal- 
 iiwell's " Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial 
 Words, and Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and 
 Ancient Customs, from the 14th Century," was 
 commenced in 1844, and promises to embrace 
 
 as great a number of words as are found in • 
 dictionary of modern English. 
 
 3. The early bilingual dictionaries, such aa 
 the English and Latin, and English and French, 
 contain many obsolete words; and this is the 
 fact with respect to many of the English die- 
 tionaries, as those of Bailey, Johnson, Ash, 
 Richardson, and others. Johnson says, hu 
 "fixed Sidney's work [Sir Philip Sidney, who 
 died in 1586] for the boundary, beyond which 
 he made few excursions." Johnson's Diction- 
 ary, however, as he left it, contains many obso- 
 lete words, a considerable portion of which were 
 taken from Bailey's Dictionary, though of such 
 words he did not take near all that are found 
 in Bailey. Of the words added by Mr. Todd, 
 a much larger proportion are obsolete than of 
 those admitted by Johnson ; and of Todd's addi 
 tional words, particularly in his second edition, 
 there are many which are of merely local oi 
 provincial use, and some of them are unworthy 
 of being inserted in a general dictionary of the 
 language. 
 
 4. A dictionary of the English language, in 
 order to be complete, must contain all the words 
 whether obsolete or not, found in books which 
 are mucli read, such, for example, as the com- 
 mon version of the Scriptures, and the workt 
 of Shakspeare and of Milton ; though there a»" 
 many words in these works which are now oh 
 solete, and many which, though not obsolete, art 
 used in an obsolete sense, that needs explan 
 ation. 
 
 5. William Caxton, who first introduced pnnt- 
 ing into England, in his Preface to a Transla- 
 tion of Virgil's jEneid, printed in 1490, speaking 
 of the innovations then made in the English lan- 
 guage, and the differences of the language in 
 the different parts of the kingdom, says, that ha 
 "toke an olde boke and redde therein, and c^-- 
 taynly the Englisshe was so rude and brood, thai 
 
 he coulde not wele understande it." " An<l 
 
 certaynly," he says, " our language now usei* 
 
ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS. 
 
 raiyeth ferre from that which was used and 
 (poken when I was born. For we Englissh men 
 ben borne under the domynacyon of the mone, 
 which is never stedfaste, but ever waverynge, 
 wexyng one season, and waneth and dis- 
 creaseth another season ; and that comyne Eng- 
 lisshe that is spoken one shyre varyeth from 
 another, insomuche, that in my dayes happened, 
 that certayn merchauntes were in a shipp in 
 Tarayse; for to have sailed over the see into 
 Zelande, and for lacke of wynde they taryed 
 atte Forland, and went to lande for to refreshe 
 them ; and one of them, named ShefFelde, a 
 mercer, came into an hows, and axed for mete, 
 and specyally he axed for egges, and the goode 
 wj'f answerde, that she coude speke no Frenshe. 
 And the marchaunt was angry, for he also 
 coude speke no Frenshe, but wolde have hadde 
 egges, and she understode him not And then 
 at laste another sayd, that he wolde have eyren ; 
 then the goode wyf sayd, that she understode 
 bim well. Loo what sholde a man in thyse days 
 now wryte, egges or eyren ? Certaynly it is 
 hard to playse every man, By cause of dyversyte 
 and chaunge of langage; for in these days 
 every man, that is in ony reputacyon in his 
 countre, will utter his communicacyon and mat- 
 ters in such manners and termes, that fewe men 
 ehall understonde them ; and som honest and 
 grete clerkes have been wyth me, and desired 
 me to wryte the moste curyous termes that I 
 coude find. And thus between playn, rude, 
 and curious, 1 stand abashed. But in my judg- 
 mente, the comyn termes that be dayli used, 
 ben lighter to be understonde than the olde 
 ftuncyent Englisshe." 
 
 6. England abounds in provincialisms and 
 local dialects ; and in some districts of the 
 country, the peculiarities of the language are so 
 great, that the speech of the common people 
 can be but imperfectly understood by those 
 who are unacquainted with their peculiar dia- 
 lect These peculiarities, or archaisms, are of 
 great antiquity, and, as stated by Forby, "are 
 all, in substance, remnants and derivatives of 
 the language of past ages, which were, at some 
 time or other, in common use, though in long 
 process of time they have become only locally 
 used and understood." 
 
 7. Of tlie local dialects, one of the most noted 
 IS the Craven Dialect, which is spoken in the 
 deanery of Craven, a district of upwards of 
 (hirty miles in length and nearly as many in 
 Breadth, situated in the noHhem part of the 
 
 west-nding of the county of York. Mr. Can 
 the author of the " Craven Dialect and Glos- 
 sary," maintains that it was " the language of 
 crowned heads, of the court, and of the most 
 eminent English historians, divines, and poets, 
 of former ages.'' These provincialisms now 
 form, to a great extent, the colloquial language 
 of the lower classes ; and many of them are 
 found in the early productions of English litera/- 
 ture ; but in books of modern origin, they are 
 seen chiefly in glossaries. 
 
 8. The Edinburgh Review [vol. Ixxix. 1844] 
 contains the following statement 
 
 "The number of provincial words that navo 
 hitherto been arrested by local glossaries, stand 
 as follows : — 
 
 Sussex, 371 
 
 Essex, 589 
 
 Wiltshire, 592 
 
 Hallamshire, . . . 1,568

 9. " Admitting that several of the foregoing 
 are synonymous, superfluous, or common to 
 each county, there are, nevertheless, many of 
 them which, although alike orthographically, are 
 vastly dissimilar in signification. Making these 
 allowances, tliey amount to a little more than 
 20,000 ; or, according to the number of EngJish 
 counties hitherto illustrated, at the average ratio 
 of 1,478 to a county. Calculating the twenty 
 six unpublished in the same ratio, they will fur 
 nish 38,428 additional provincialisms, forming, 
 in the aggregate, 59,000 words in the colloquial 
 tongue of the lower classes, which can, for the 
 chief part, produce proofs of legitimate origin ; 
 about the same number, in short, of authorized 
 words that are admitted into Todd's edition of 
 Johnson's Dictionary. Besides these and the 
 private compilations made by individuals, m the 
 course of their miscellaneous reading, there ary 
 some very copious early English Vocabularies 
 lying in manuscript in the cathedral libraries ot 
 Durham, Winchester, and Canterbury, in the 
 British Museum, King's Ccilege, and other de- 
 positories, deserving collection ; as well as rare 
 lexicographical volumes, which issued fion the 
 press in the infancy of typography." 
 
 10. A list of the English provincial glossariei 
 
ARCHAISMS, PROVINCIALISMS, AND AMERICANISMS. 
 
 lv& 
 
 irmcli contain tlie words above enumerated, may 
 De seen on page Ixxi. A considerable number 
 of these provincialisms are to be found in Ash's 
 English Dictionary, and also among the addi- 
 tions of Mr. Todd to Johnson's Dictionary. But, 
 as they are not found in the classical or in the 
 popular literature of England, and are rarely 
 Been in print, except in the glossaries in which 
 they have been collected, they have little claim 
 to a place in a general dictionary of the lan- 
 guage. Were education universally diffused 
 throughout the country, and the children accus- 
 tomed to use the same or similar elementary 
 hooks of instruction, most of these provincial- 
 isms would soon be disused and forgotten. 
 
 11. The English language as it is spoken 
 and written in the United States, differs some- 
 what from the language as written and spoken in 
 any part of England ; and it differs also, more or 
 less, in the different States ; but there is nothing 
 here at all to be compared with the local dia- 
 lects of England. The greater uniformity of 
 language which exists in this country, is to be 
 attributed to the frequent removals of the in- 
 haoitants from one place to another, their free 
 intercourse with each other, and to the fact 
 that elementary education is much more gen- 
 erally diffused among the middle and lower 
 classes here, than in England. The Americans 
 have formed their language more from books, 
 and less from oral speech, than the English ; 
 and they are more in the habit of having re- 
 course to a dictionary for instruction respecting 
 the pronunciation and use of words. 
 
 12. The settlement of this country was com- 
 menced, upwards of two centuries ago, chiefly 
 by emigrations from different parts of Great 
 Britain. The emigrants brought with them not 
 only the common language of the country in the 
 state in which it then existed, but also more or 
 .ess of the local peculiarities ; and in this way 
 some of the English provincialisms have been 
 widely diffused m the United States, and have 
 oeen regarded as of American origin. The 
 changes in tlie language, which have taken 
 place within the last two centuries, have not 
 been precisely the same on the two sides of the 
 Atlantic ; yet the difference is much less than 
 might reasonably have been expected ; and it is 
 doubtless a. fact, that, among the great mass of 
 the people throughout England, the deviations 
 from what is there deemed the correct standard 
 *f speaKiDg and writing the language, are much 
 
 greater than among tlie mass of the people of 
 the United States. 
 
 13. The Americans have formed some net* 
 words ; to some old ones they have affixed new 
 significations ; they have retained some which 
 have become obsolete in England; some Eng 
 lish provincialisms they have brought into 
 common use; and there are many neologisms, 
 consisting in part of new words, and in part of 
 old words with new significations, in use both in 
 England and in the United States, with regard 
 to which it is difficult to determine :n which 
 country they originated. 
 
 14. A great part of the differences with re- 
 spect to the language of the educated classes in 
 the United States and in England, grow out of 
 the different institutions and the different cir- 
 cumstances and employments of the people of 
 the two countries. There is a considerable num 
 her of words which owe their origin to Ameri 
 can institutions, social relations, and occupations, 
 and which are properly used by Americans, bu' 
 which Englishmen have no occasion to employ 
 except in speaking of American affairs. On the 
 other hand, there is a stiU greater number of 
 words which relate to the civil and religious 
 institutions and social relations of Great Britain, 
 and which are never used in the United States, 
 except with reference to that country. Such 
 differences as these have a legitimate origin, 
 and may be regarded as proper, and not as cor 
 ruptions of the language. But there are many 
 neologisms, or new words, some of American, 
 and still more of recent English origin, which 
 are entitled to little countenance. A considera- 
 ble number of such have been noticed in this 
 Dictionary ; but many have been passed by as 
 plants suffered to remain and die in their native 
 soil, being regarded as not worth transplanting. 
 
 15. Among the words which owe their origin 
 or peculiar use to American institutions, are 
 the following : congress, congressional, president, 
 presidential, senate, senatorial, gubernatorial, 
 state, territory, town, general court, general as- 
 sembly, selectmen, message, &c. The words ex- 
 ecutive and judiciary are often used in the 
 United States as nouns, but not often in Eng 
 land. The words electioneer and electioneering, 
 which are much used here, are also used, in 
 some degree, in England, though the more com 
 mon terms used there, in the same sense, are 
 canvass and canvassing, which are rarely used 
 in this manner in the United States. Tha 
 word caucus is of undisputed American origia 
 
Am 
 
 ARCHAISMS, PRO VINCI ALIBMS, AND AMERICANISMS. 
 
 Among the American ecclesiastical terms may 
 be noted association, associational, consociation, 
 tonsodaiiorwl, to approbate, to result, &c. 
 
 16. Among the terms relating to the political 
 and civil institutions of England, rarely used in 
 this country, except with reference to England, 
 may be enumerated the following: parliament, 
 parliameniary, prorogue, prorogation, hustings, 
 txehequer, postman, tubman, sergeant-at-law, as- 
 lize, excise, bailiff, lords, commons, peerage, bar- 
 onetage, knightage, &c. : among the ecclesiastical 
 terms, establishment, conformity, non-conformity, 
 dissenters, dean, deanery, archdeacon, archdeacon- 
 ry, prebend, prebendary, canon, eanonry, vicar, 
 vicarage, curate, curacy, dignity, dignifed, bene- 
 fice, beneficed, advowson, cmnmendam, donative, 
 preferment, impropriation, impropriator, &c. 
 Among the many neologisms which may claim 
 the undisputed honor of English origin, are con- 
 stituency, boroughmonger, squirarchy, shopocracy, 
 conservatism, radicalism, liberalism, chartism, Aiv- 
 glicanism, high-churchism, dissenterism, voluntor 
 ryism, &c. 
 
 17. There is a difference between the two 
 countries in relation to the terms employed to 
 designate their respective literary institutions, 
 and also with respect to the technical terms 
 ust,d in their umversities and colleges. The 
 following English university terms, for example, 
 are not at all used here in the same sense : act, 
 wrangler, optima, bursar, commoner, shear, pen- 
 sioner, servitor, batteller, foundationer ; and the 
 following American terms do not appear to be 
 used in the same sense in England, namely, 
 cirmmiencement, senior, junior, sophomore, fresh- 
 man, salutatory, beneficiary. 
 
 18. Some words, more or less in use, are re- 
 garded as of Indian origin ; as, calumet, choco- 
 late, hominy, moccason, mush, papoose, potato, 
 fotmoow, quahaug, sachem, sagamore, samp, suc- 
 lotash, S(^'uash, squaw, tobacco, tomato, tomahawk, 
 toampum, wigwam, Yankee. 
 
 11 Of the English provincialisms which are 
 
 often used in the United States, may be eim 
 merated, to vAlt, to slump, to rile or tu roil, slumpy 
 slosh, slush, slosky, slushy, rily or roily, spunk, 
 spunky, spry, squirm, squiggle, quackle, shote, 
 &c. 
 
 20. There is a considerable number of words 
 the propriety of which has been disputed, but 
 which are now often used both in the United 
 States and in England. Such are the follow- 
 ing: to advocate, to base, to demoralize, to de- 
 range, to expatriate, to locate, to obligate, to test, 
 to veto, prayerful, prayerless, profanity, unwell, 
 &c. The following words, which are moro or 
 less used in the United States, are little used 
 in England : to approbate, to belittle, to clapboard, 
 to eventuate, to jeopardize, to loan ; sundown, 
 bootable, freshet, sled, sleigh, clapboard, shingle, 
 prairie, snag, sawyer, vendue, sparse, bindery or 
 bookbindery, lot, as a building ht, a house lot, a 
 wood lot. 
 
 21. The following words have senses affixed 
 to them in the United States different froir 
 the senses in which they are commonly used in 
 England: baggage, balance, clever, cob, com, 
 creek, fall, lumber, merchant, quite, spdl, stage, 
 store; also the verbs to imp-ove, to notify, to 
 girdle, to guess, to eipect, &c. 
 
 22. There are some words which both Eng- 
 lish and American recent writers have used in a 
 new sense ; as, to realize, to solemnize, to tran- 
 spire; obnoxious, temper, &c. Many of the 
 neologisms which have been stigmatized as 
 American innovations or corruptions, have been 
 sanctioned by the use of English authors. The 
 adjective lengthy, and the verb to progress, with 
 the accent on the last syllable, are reputed to 
 be of American origin ; but, though they may 
 probably have originated here, yet they seem 
 to have been adopted in England; and com- 
 paratively higher authorities may be adduced in 
 support of their use from English, than from 
 American, writers. — See the words Lenotbt, 
 Pbooress, Clever, &c. in the Dictioo'cy 
 
VI.-HISTOEY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY. 
 
 L Lexicoorafht is a branch of literature 
 whicli appears to have been but little cultivated 
 in ancient times. It is doubtfiil whether the 
 ancient Greeks and Romans ever wrote what 
 would be properly called dictionaries of their 
 respective languages. No such works written 
 by them are now extant ; nor is there positive 
 evidence that any such ever existed. The 
 terms lexicon and dictionarium wer" not in use 
 during the classic period of the Greek and 
 Roman languages; but they are of compara- 
 tively modem introduction. Varro, who died 
 27 B. C, wrote a work entitled « De lAngud 
 Latind," which consisted of twenty-four books, 
 of which only six, and these much mutilated, 
 are now extant. One of tlie books contained 
 a sort of glossary of Latin terms. Apollonius 
 of Alexandna, commonly supposed to have lived 
 m the time of Augustus, though some suppose 
 him to have been much later, wrote a sort of 
 glossary to Homer, 
 
 2. " The oldest extant Greek lexicographer," 
 says the Penny CyclopoBdia, "is ApoUonius 
 the Sophist, a contemporary of Augustus. His 
 work, entitled AHetg ' OfiTjQixa], or 'Homeric 
 Words,' though much interpolated, is very use- 
 fiiL All the other original Greek lexicons and 
 glossaries we have, such as the ' Onomasticon ' 
 (or Collection of Synonymes) of Julius Pol- 
 lux, tlie lexicons of Suidas, Harpocration, and 
 Hesychius, and the ' Etymologicon Magnum,' 
 ■ometimes attributed to Marcus Musurus, al- 
 though of the authors of some of tliem the 
 exact age is disputed, were undoubtedly com- 
 piled subsequent, and most of them probably 
 long subsequent, to the commencement of the 
 Christian era. It is supposed, indeed, that they 
 were founded upon older compilations of the 
 name kind ; but of the form of those lost 
 works we know nothing. It may be reasonably 
 doubted if either the Greeks or Romans were 
 in the habit of making use of dictionaries in 
 ■tudying a foreign language or dialect, as has 
 been the general practice in modern tunes." 
 
 3. The following is a brief notice ot a few of 
 the earliest lexicographical works that are now 
 extan^ — Julius Pollux, a native of Naucratis, 
 in Egypt, and a teacher of rhetoric at Athens, in 
 the early part of the third century of the Chris- 
 tian era, was the author of the " Omyhiasticon," 
 a Greek Vocabulary, divided into ten books. It 
 contains a vast variety of synonymous words and 
 phrases, arranged under general heads, but not 
 alphabetically, and it partakes more of tlie nature 
 of an encyclopsBdia, than of a dictionary. The 
 first edition of it was pnnted at Venice in 150'i, 
 
 4. Hesychius of Alexandria, by some stated 
 to have lived as early as the third, and by ottiera 
 not before the fifth or sixth century, was the 
 author of a Greek lexicon or glossary, consist- 
 ing of short explanations of uncommon Greek 
 words and technical terms. The first edition ol 
 it was printed at Venice in 1513. 
 
 5. Valerius Harpocration, a Greek rhetoricia* 
 of Alexandria, wrote a work entitled " Lexicon 
 Decern Oratorum," (" Lexicon to the Ten Ora- 
 tors,") which contains an account of many of the 
 persons and facts mentioned in the orauons o 
 the ten principal orators of Athens. "W» 
 have," says the Penny Cyclopeedia, " no partic- 
 ulars of his life, nor of the time iii which h# 
 lived." Mr. Watt styles him " an Alexandrian 
 rhetorician of the fourth century," and entitles 
 his work " Lexicon in decern Bhetores" It waj 
 first printed at Venice in 1503. 
 
 6. Photius, patriarch of Constantinople, who 
 died in 891, was the author of the Ae^emv 
 Swayatyrj, a Greek glossary or lexicon, an edi- 
 tion of which, edited by Hermann, was pub- 
 lished at Leipsic in 1808 ; and another, edited 
 by Person, was published m London in 1822. 
 
 7. Suidas, whose age and country are not 
 ascertained, but who is supposed to have lived 
 between 900 and 1025 A. D., was the author of 
 a Greek Lexicon, styled by some an "Historical 
 and Geographical Dictionary," also an " Ency. 
 clopjedia." It comprises the names of men 
 and places, as well as the words which properh

 belong to a dictionaiy. The first edition was 
 printed at Milan in 1499. 
 
 8. John Balbus, or Balbi, or John of Genoa, 
 (being a Genoese,) who died in 1298, was tlie 
 author of the " Catholicon," a Latin dictionary 
 containing between seven hundred and eight 
 hundred pages folio ; first printed at Mentz, in 
 1460, by Gutenberg. "Although this work," 
 Bays Watt, "contains many errors, it has the 
 iiingnlarity of being the first Latin dictionary 
 after the destruction of the language." 
 
 9. Johannes Crestonus (Placentinus,) a native 
 of Piacenza, was the author of the "Lexicon 
 Graco-Latinum^ the first Greek and Latin 
 dictionary extant The first edition, supposed 
 to have been printed at Milan, is without date. 
 The earliest edition, with a date, was printed at 
 Vicenza in 1483. 
 
 10. Calepin, or Calepino, a native of Calepio, 
 near Bergamo, m Italy, who died in 1510, was 
 the author of the " Dictionarium" a Latin dic- 
 tionary, one of the earliest works of the kind, 
 first pnnted at Ileggio m 1502. It went through 
 many editions, and received such additions as 
 made it almost a new worL Facciolati, assisted 
 by his pupil Egidio Porcellini, prepared and 
 published a '^ew edition in 1731. " It was," as is 
 stated by the Penny Cyclopaedia, " in tlie course 
 of his joint labors with Facciolati, that Forcellini 
 concived the plan of a totally new Latin dic- 
 tions'y, which, after more than thirty years' as- 
 siduous application, he brought to .light under 
 the *itle of ' Totius Latinitatis Lexkon,' four 
 volumes folio, Padua, 1771. This work has 
 superseded all other Latin dictionaries." An 
 enlarged edition of this work, edited by James 
 Bailey, was published in London in 1828 ; and 
 It also formed the principal basis of the " Lexi- 
 «\,n of the Latin Language," edited by F. P. 
 Levorett, and first published at Boston in 1836. 
 — " Cornucopia," " Breviloquus Vocabularixis" 
 and " Gemma Vocahvlorum atque Medulla" are 
 titles of other early lexicographical works on 
 the Latin language. 
 
 11. The earliest lexicographical labors in 
 England were performed near the end of the 
 fifteenth century ; and their object was to facili- 
 tate the study of the Latin language. The title 
 of the earliest work of the kind published in 
 that country, as given in Dr. Dib din's " Typo- 
 graphical Antiquities," was as follows : " Promp- 
 torius Puerorum. Promptorium Paruulorum, m,ve 
 Clericorum. Medulla Grammatice." It was first 
 Drinted by Richard Pynson, in 1499, in folio. 
 Editionp of it were printed by Wynkyn de Worde, 
 
 in 1510, 1512, 1516, and 1528. « Richard Fraun 
 ces, a preaching or blaCk friar," as is stated bj 
 WiUiam Herbert, the typographical antiquary 
 " was the author of this first English and Latin 
 dictionary, in which are many old English words 
 nowhere else explained." "This hook," says 
 Dr. Dibdin, " is printed in double columns ; the 
 English before the Latin ; the nouns first, under 
 each letter of the alphabet, the verbs, adverbs, 
 &c., aft«r them ; both nouns and verbs are de- 
 clined very particularly. The work was intend- 
 ed, as the commencement of the account of the 
 third edition of it specifies, as a companion to 
 the ' Ortus Vocabulorum,' in Latin and English." 
 
 12. In 1500 (the next year after the first pub- 
 lication of the work above noticed) was printed 
 by Wynkyn de Worde the first edition of the 
 work bearing the following title, as stated in Dr. 
 Dibdin's " Typographical Antiquities : " — " Or- 
 tus Vocabulorum : alphabetico ordine fere omnia 
 qua in Caiholico breviloquo Cornucopia Genuna 
 Vocabulorum atque Medulla Grammatices ponun- 
 tur cum perpulcns Additoribus Ascens. et vernac- 
 ulm lAngv/z Anglicana expositionem continens." 
 This is the first edition of the first Latin and 
 English dictionary, — " a work," says Dibdin, "of 
 considerable importance to grammatical antiqua 
 ries, and the parent production of our popular 
 Latin and English Dictionary by Ainsworth." 
 Subsequent editions were printed in 1508, 1509, 
 1514, 1516, and 1518. 
 
 13. The next lexicographical work, and the 
 first entitled a dictionary, [dictionarium,) that was 
 published in England, was the " Dictionarium " 
 (Latin and English) of Sir Thomas Elyot, who 
 was a distinguished scholar in the reign of 
 Henry VUL, a friend of Sir Thomas More, 
 and the author of various works. It was first 
 published in 1538 ; and the dates of other edi- 
 tions which appeared before the author's death, 
 in 1546, are as follows; 1.541, 1542, and 1545. 
 The title of the edition of 1542, as given by 
 Ames, is « Bibliotheca EHotai, Eliotis Idbra- 
 rie." It was dedicated to Henry VIII. ; and th«> 
 following is an extract from the dedication: 
 — "To the moste excellent prince, and our 
 moste redoubted souerayne lorde Kinge Henry 
 the VIII., Supreme head in erthe immediately 
 vnder Christe, of the Churche of Englande.

 J nede not reherse, sens J ones declared it in 
 my booke called the ' Gouernour,' which about 
 Vni yeres passed J dydde dedicate vnto your

 14. " This IS a work," says Dr. Dibdin, " of 
 considerable ability, and deservedly held in 
 high estimation, as one of the earliest and best 
 attempts in the promotion of lexicographical 
 literature." After the death of Sir Thomas 
 Elyot, his Dictionary was corrected and en- 
 larged repeatedly by Thomas Cooper, " Scheie 
 maister of Maudlens in Oxforde," afterwards 
 bishop of Lincoln ; and in the edition of 156.3, 
 Jie title was changed to " Tltesaurus utriusque 
 JAngucB Latince el Britannica ; " Cooper having, 
 according to Anthony Wood, " augmented and 
 enriched it with 33,000 words and phrases." 
 
 15. After the appearance of some smaller 
 Latin and English dictionaries, the "Alvearie, 
 »r Triple Di<'tionarie, in English. Latin, and 
 
 French," by John Baret, a wholai of Cam- 
 bridge, was published in 1573 ; and to ths 
 second edition, published in 1580, he added the 
 Greek, and entitled it the " Alv(;arie, or Quad- 
 ruple Dictionarie." In his address " To the 
 Reader," he gives a singular account of the 
 manner in which the " Alvearie " was formed, 
 from which the following extract is given: — 
 16. "About eighteene yeeres agone, having 
 pupils at Cambridge, studious of the Latin 
 tongue, I vsed them often to write epistles and 
 themes togither, and daily to translate soma 
 peece of English into Latin, for the more 
 speedy and easie atteining of the same. And 
 after we had a little begunne, perceyuing what 
 great trouble it was to come running to mee for 
 euery word they missed, (knowing then of no 
 other Dictionarie to helpe us, but Sir Thomas 
 Eliots Librarie, which was come out a little be- 
 fore,) I appoynted them certaine leaues of tha 
 same booke euery day, to write the English be- 
 fore the Latin, and likewise to gather a number 
 of fine phrases out of Cicero, Terence, Casar 
 Livie, &c. and to set them under seuerall Ty- 
 Hes, for the more ready finding them againe aX 
 their neede. Thus within a yeare or two they 
 had gathered togither a great volume, which (for 
 the apt similitude betweene tlie good scholers 
 and the diligent bees in gathering their wax and 
 bony into their hiue) I called then their Jllut- 
 arie, both for a memoriall by whom it was made, 
 and also by this name to incourage other to the 
 like diligence, for that they should not see their 
 worthy prayse for the same unworthily drowned 
 in obliuion. Not long after, divers of our 
 fiiendes borrowing this our worke which we had 
 thus contriued and wrought onely for our own 
 priuate vse, often and many wayes mooued mee 
 to put it in print for the common profit of others, 
 and the publike propagation of the Latin tongue 
 or else to suffer them to get it printed at theit 
 proper costes and charges. But I both un^vill 
 ing, and halfe ashamed to haue our rude noteR 
 come abrode under the view of so many learned 
 
 eyes, &c at length coming to London. 
 
 there came unto mee a printer shewing 
 
 mee Hulmts Dictionarie (which before I neuei 
 sawe) and tolde me he intended to print it out 
 of hand, augmented with our notes also if 1 
 woulde. But this bargaine went not forward 
 with him for divers causes Now there- 
 fore (gentle reader) looke not to finde in this 
 booke, euery thing whatsoeuer thou wouldest 
 seeke for, as though all thinges were here so 
 perfect that nothing lacked, or were possible ta

 be added hereunto. But if thou mayst onely 
 here finde the most wordes that thou needest, or 
 at the least so many as no other Dictionarie yet 
 extant or made hath the like : take then, I say, 
 in good part this our simple Muearie in the mean 
 time, and giue God the praise that first moved 
 mee to set my pupils on worke thereabout, and 
 BO mercifully also hath strengthened vs (thus as 
 it is) at length to atchieue and iinish the same." 
 
 17. The Latin and English dictionary of Dr. 
 John Rider (an Oxford scholar, and afterwards 
 bishop of Killaloe) was published in 1589. 
 His additions, as he states, "amount to 4,000 
 words more than any one dictionarie now ex- 
 tant affords;" and, in his Preface, he says, "No 
 one dictionarie, as yet extant, hath the Eng- 
 lish before the Latine, with a full index of all 
 such Latine words as are in any common dic- 
 tionarie." Rider's Dictionary was subsequently 
 enlarged, first by Francis Holyoke, and af- 
 terwards by his son Thomas Holyoke. Tlr? 
 Latin and English dictionaries of Gouldman, 
 Coles, and Littleton, which appeared within a 
 few years of each other, passed through various 
 editions, — that of Coles, as many as eighteen ; 
 but they were all superseded by the Latin and 
 English Dictionary of Robert Ainsworth, which 
 was first published in 1736, in one volume 4to. 
 The second edition, edited by Patrick, appeared 
 in 1746, in two volumes 4to. In 1752, it was 
 published in two volumes folio ; in 1773, "a new 
 edition with great additions and amendments," by 
 Dr. Thomas Morell, appeared ; and an improved 
 edition, edited by Dr. Carey, was published, in 
 J816, in one volume 4to. " There have been," 
 as stated by Lowndes, "abridgments of this 
 work by Young, Thomas, MoreU, and Jamieson." 
 
 38. Of the early English lexicographers, the 
 object of whose labors was to facilitate the study 
 of foreign modern languages, may be mentioned 
 Percivale, the author of a " Spanish and Eng- 
 lish Dictionary," Cotgrave, author of a " French 
 and English Dictionary," (with the English part 
 by Sherwood,) and also Minsheu, author of the 
 "Guide into the Tongues," first published in 
 1617, in eleven languages, — the English, Brit- 
 ish or Welsh, Low Dutch, High Dutch, French, 
 Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek, and 
 Hebrew. A new edition was published in 1627, 
 m nine languages, but with a considerable in- 
 crease in the number of radical words. "In 
 this," says Sir John Hawkins, " the author un- 
 dertakes to ^ve the etymologies or derivations 
 9f the greater part of the words therein con- 
 tained ; but, as they amount, at the most, to no 
 
 more than 14,173, the. work mjst be deeited 
 not sufficiently copious." 
 
 19. The object of the first lexicogriiphicoi 
 labors in England was to facilitate the study 
 of the Latin language, afterwards that of the 
 Greek, and also of foreign modem languages • 
 and it was in these bilingual dictionaries, such 
 as Latin and English, and French and English, 
 that the common English words were first col- 
 lected. The early dictionaries, which were dft 
 signed for mere English readers, were very lim- 
 ited and meagre productions, their chief object 
 being to explain what were styled the " hard 
 words " of the language. Two of the earliest 
 of these works were those of Bullokar and 
 Cockeram. The former, the " English Expos 
 itor," by Dr. John Bullokar, was first published 
 in 1616. It passed through many editions ; and 
 the title of the edition printed at Cambridge, in 
 England, m 1688, is as follows : " An English 
 Expositour, or Compleat Dictionary ; teaching 
 the Interpretation of the hardest Words and 
 most useful Terms of Art used in our Language ; 
 first set forth by J. B., Dr. of Physick, and now 
 the eighth time revised, corrected, and very 
 much augmented." It is a little volume, 18mo., 
 and contains only 5,080 words. 
 
 20. The English Dictionary of Blount, often 
 written Blunt, was a larger work than any othel 
 of the kind that preceded it ; and it was soon 
 followed by a still more considerable one, that 
 of Edward Phillips, the nephew and pupil of 
 Milton. The title of Phillips's dictionary is 
 " The New World of English Words, or a Gen- 
 eral Dictionary, containing the Interpretations 
 of such hard Words as are derived from othei 
 Languages, whether Hebrew, Arabick, Syriack; 
 Greek, Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, British, 
 Dutch, Saxon, &c., their Etymologies and per- 
 fect Definitions." Sir John Hawkins says of 
 this work, " ' The New World of Words,' which, 
 as it is much more copious than tliat of Blount, 
 and contains a great quantity of matter, must 
 be looked on as the basis of English lexicogra- 
 phy." Though Phillips is entitled to the credit 
 of having advanced the progress of English lex 
 icography, yet his " World " is hardly deserving 
 of being regarded as its "basis." The first 
 edition is a small folio, of only three hundred 
 pages, containing only about 13,000 words. Of 
 these words, a large proportion are such as do 
 not properly belong to a dictionary of the Eilg- 
 lish language, but rather to an encyclopiPdia, 
 consisting of geographical and other propei 
 names ; and it contains but fe\i words of genu 
 
HISTORY OF ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY. 
 
 lue English growth; but the subsequent edi- 
 tions of the work were very much enlarged. 
 
 21. Phillips gives a list of the names of thirty- 
 four "learned gentlemen and artists who con- 
 tributed their assistance.'' He quotes from 
 another author the following remark: "A dic- 
 tionary for the English tongue would require an 
 encyclopedie of knowledge, and the concurrence 
 of many learned heads." « Such an encyclope- 
 
 dy," he says, " I present the reader with ; 
 
 a volume which the so many years' industry of 
 myself and others hath brought to such perfec- 
 tion.'' In the publisher's advertisement of the 
 work, it is thus characterized: "The so long 
 expected work, The Nkio World of English, 
 Words, or a General Dictionary, containing the 
 terms, etymologies, definitions, and perfect in- 
 terpretations of the proper significations of hard 
 English words throughout the arts and sciences, 
 liberal or mechanic, as also other subjects that 
 are useful, or appertain to the language of our 
 nation ; to which is added the signification of 
 proper names, mythology and poetical fictions, 
 historical relations, geographical descriptions of 
 the countries and cities of the world, especially 
 of these three nations, wherein their chiefest an- 
 tiquities, battles, and other most memorable pas- 
 sages, are mentioned : a work very necessary for 
 strangers, as well as our own countrymen, — for 
 all persons that would rightly understand what 
 they discourse, write, or read." After the death 
 of the author, the sixth edition, edited by John 
 Kersey, was published in 1706, "revised, cor- 
 rected, and improved, with the addition of near 
 20,000 words from the best authors." 
 
 22. Phillips's Dictionary was followed by 
 those of Coles and Kersey, which, though they 
 were pnnted in a much smaller form, contained 
 many more of the common words of the lan- 
 guage. Dr. Watts, in his "Art of Reading and 
 Writing English," published in 1720, thus no- 
 tices the work of Kersey : " The best dictionary 
 that I know for this purpose [spelling] is entitled 
 'A New English Dictionary,' &c., by J. K. The 
 second edition, 1713, in small octavo." 
 
 23. After Kersey's, and soon after 1720, ap- 
 peared the celebrated Dictionary of Nathan Bai- 
 ley, which was the first English dictionary in 
 which an attempt was made to give a complete 
 collection of the words of the language. Mr. 
 Watt, in his "Bibliotheca Britannica," thus 
 notices this work: "Bailey's Enghsh Dictionary, 
 printed in 1728, (fourth edition,) was long the 
 only one in use, and still continues a favorite 
 with many readers. It was afterwards enlarged 
 
 into two volumes 8vo., and some years aft«T 
 printed in folio, with additions in the matliemat- 
 ical part by G. Gordon, in the botanical by Philip 
 Miller, and in the etymological by T. Lediard 
 the whole revised [1755] by Dr. Joseph Nico. 
 Scott, a physician. The octavo [24th edition] 
 was revised by Dr. Harwood, 1782." 
 
 24. A part of the long title of the first volume 
 of the edition of 1728 is as follows : " An Uni- 
 versal Etymological English Dictionary; com- 
 prehending the Derivations of the Generality ol 
 Words in the English Tongue, either Ancient 
 or Modem, from the Ancient British, Saxon, 
 Danish, Norman and Modem French, Teutonic, 
 Dutch, Spanish, Italian ; as also from the Latin, 
 Greek, and Hebrew Languages, each in their 
 proper Characters ; and also a clear Explication 
 of all diflacult Words derived from any of the 
 
 aforesaid LangUEiges ; containing many 
 
 thousand Words more than either Harris, Phil- 
 lips, Kersey, or any English Dictionary before 
 extant" The second volume was first published 
 in 1727, as a supplement to the first ; and it con- 
 sists of two parts: — "I. An Additional Collec- 
 tion of some Thousands of Words not in the 
 former Volume. II. An Orthographical Dic- 
 tionary, showing both the Orthography and 
 Orthoepia of the English Tongue." 
 
 25. In his Preface to the first volume, Bailey 
 says, "As for the eiymologiccd part, or those 
 words from foreign languages, whence the Eng- 
 lish words were derived, I think I am the first 
 who has attempted it in English, except what 
 Mr. Blunt has done in his ' Glossography,' which 
 is but a. very small part, and those of a Latin 
 derivation chiefly, besides a small extract of Dr. 
 Skinner's ' Etymologicon.' " In his Introduction 
 to the second volume, he remarks, "I have 
 placed an accent over that syllable on which a 
 particular stress or force of sound is to be laid 
 by the voice in pronouncing." This appears to 
 be the first instance in which any such aid to 
 pronunciation was furnished in an English die 
 tionary. The parts of speech were not noted u 
 this nor in any previous English dictionary. 
 
 26. This lexicographer, who was a school 
 master at Stepney, was the author of severa 
 other works, among which were the " Dictiona 
 rium Domesticum, or a Household Dictionary,* 
 and "An Introduction to the English Tongue;" 
 and he was the editor of several classical au- 
 thors for the use of schools. He died, as it i> 
 stated in the " Gentleman's Magazine," in 1742 
 The following remarks are extracted from tha 
 Encyclopaedia Perthensij:" "It is somewhat 
 
HISTORY or ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY. 
 
 BUT inaing that, though this work [Bailey's Dic- 
 hoMry] is universally known, having gone 
 Ihreugh at least twenty-six editions since the 
 firsi; edition, dedicated in Latin to Frederick 
 Prince of Wales, and his royal sisters, (his 
 majesty's [George III.] father and aunts,) was 
 published, yet no account whatever has hith- 
 erto been given of the learned and laborious 
 author, who excelled Dr. Johnson himself, in 
 industry at least, by introducing a far greater 
 number of words, in his small work of one vol- 
 ume 8vo., than the Doctor has inserted in both 
 his volumes folio. We have searched in vain 
 for an account of this learned lexicographer." — 
 In reference to the above comparison of the 
 number of words found in the dictionaries of 
 Bailey and Johnson, it may be remarked, that 
 Johnson omitted many words that are in Bailey's 
 Dictionary, because they were not in use ; but 
 he inserted many not found in it. He speaks 
 of "the deficiencies of dictionaries," with re- 
 spect to the number of words, and says, he 
 has much augmented the vocabulary." 
 
 27. Dyche's Dictionary, a work in one vol- 
 ume 8vo., ''originally begun by the Rev. 
 'j'homas Dycho, and finished by William Par- 
 don," has had an extensive circulation in Eng- 
 land. The seventh edition was published in 
 1752, and the sixteenth in 1777. This state- 
 ment seems hardly consistent with the remark 
 of Watt, a:bove quoted, that Bailey's Dictionary 
 " was long the only one in use." 
 
 28. Benjamin Martin, an ingenious man, and 
 the author of several publications on scientific 
 and philosophical subjects, published a diction- 
 ary of considerable menu The first edition 
 was printed in 1749 ; the second, in 1754. 
 
 29. In 1747, Dr. Johnson published a « Plan 
 for a Dictionary of the English Language," ad- 
 dressed to the Earl of Chesterfield ; and soon 
 afterwards he made a contract with some emi- 
 nent London booksellers for performing the labor 
 if preparing the work, for the sum of £1,575. 
 
 30. The following account of his method of 
 proceeding is given by Sir John Hawkins : " He 
 had, for the purpose of carrying on this arduous 
 work, and being near the printers employed in 
 it, taken a handsome house in Gough Square, 
 and fitted up a room in it with desks and other 
 accommodations for amanuenses, whom, to the 
 number of five or six, he kept constantly under 
 nis eye. An interleaved copy of Bailey's Dic- 
 tionary in folio, he made the repository of the 
 several articles, and these he collected by mces- 
 mnt reading the best authors in our language. 
 
 in the practice whereof his method was to score 
 with a black-lead pencil the words by him se- 
 lected, and give them over to his assistants tc 
 insert in their places. The books he used for 
 this purpose were what he had in his own col- 
 lection, a copious but a miserably ragged one. 
 and all such as he could borrow ; which latter 
 if ever they came back to those that lent them 
 were so defaced as to be scarce worth owning 
 and yet some of his firiends were glad to receiv» 
 and entertain them as curiosities." 
 
 31. Johnson completed his task, after seven 
 years' arduous labor, in 1755 ; and it is justly 
 regarded as one of the greatest literary achieve- 
 ments ever performed by any man, within the 
 same space of time. In a notice of the work 
 in the " Gentleman's Magazine " for April, 1755^ 
 just after its publication, the following language 
 is used: "Let not any one attempt to witiihold 
 the honor which is due to him who alone haa 
 effected, in seven years, what the joint labor 
 of forty academicians could not produce in a 
 neighboring nation in less than half a century.* 
 
 32. The publication of this Dictionary termed 
 a greater era in the history of the language than 
 that of any other work. No other dictionary 
 has had so much influence m fixing the exter- 
 nal form of the language, and ascertaining and 
 settling the meaning and proper use of words 
 Johnson was the first to introduce into English 
 lexicography the method of illustrating the dif- 
 ferent significations of words by examples from 
 the best writers ; and his Dictionary, from the 
 time of its first publication, has been, far more 
 than any other, regarded as a standard for the 
 language. It has formed substantially the basis 
 of many smaller works, and, as Walker remarks, 
 it " has been deemed lawful plunder by every 
 subsequent lexicographer." 
 
 33. The next year after the publication of his 
 Dictionary, Johnson prepared the octavo abridg 
 ment ; and he revised the large work for the 
 edition of 1773, without, however, making great 
 additions or alterations. Supplements to it, by 
 Mason, Seager, and Jodrell, have been published 
 in a separate form. 
 
 34 In 1814, an edition of Johnson's Dic- 
 tionary, with numerous corrections, and witli 
 the addition of about 14,000 words, by the Rev 
 Henry John Todd, was published ; and, in 1827 
 there was a second edition, with the additioK 
 of about one thousand more words, by Mr. 
 Todd. The words added by Mr. Todd, in lii« 
 first edition, were mostly derived from the early 
 English writers ; and a considerable part of

 mem are obsolete ; and of those added in his 
 Mcond edition, a large proportion are provincial 
 M local words, some of them Hardly worthy of 
 a place in a dictionary of the English lan- 
 guage. 
 
 35. The merits of Johnson's Dictionary have 
 been by some exaggerated, and by others un- 
 derrated. But though many defects have been 
 pointe.d out, yet no one of his countrymen has 
 yet produced a work that has sunerseded it. 
 It would be unrecsonable to expect, from the 
 labor of seven years, a work for which " a whole 
 life would be insufficient." If it had been per- 
 fectly adapted to the language at the time of its 
 first publication, it would be very defective now. 
 Many changes have taken place in the language 
 within the last century, and there has been 
 a vast influx of new words from the various 
 departments of the arts and sciences. In rela- 
 tion to these matters this Dictionary was not de- 
 signed to treat largely ; and the scientific terms 
 which it contains generally need to be defined 
 anew, and a great many new ones need to be 
 added; but in these departments Mr. Todd 
 made few improvements or additions. 
 
 36. The "Penny Cyclopsedia" speaks of the 
 work as follows : " Johnson's Dictionary has 
 been accounted the standard work of its class 
 since its appearance in 1755 ; but, although it 
 was a great achievement for an individual, and 
 its definitions, in particular, afford remarkable 
 evidence of its author's ingenuity and command 
 of expression, it is, in many respects, as far as 
 possible from being what a dictionary should be. 
 Its etymological part (as Home Tooke has long 
 ago shown) is little better than so much rubbish ; 
 and it is characterized throughout by a total 
 want of method and philosophical views. Some 
 valuable matter has been added by the Rev. 
 Mr, Todd; but the philosophical character of 
 the work has received no improvement in his 
 nands.'' 
 
 37. Since the first publication of Johnson's 
 Dictionary, many other English dictionaries, of 
 various aegrees of merit, have appeared in Eng- 
 land, the titles, dates, and names of the authors 
 of which may be seen in the following Catalogue ; 
 but they cannot, all of them, be here particularly 
 noticed. The most considerable of these works 
 is Mr. Richardson's "New Dictionary of the 
 English Language," published in 1838. This 
 IS an elaborate work, which indicates an exten- 
 Bive and laborious research into the early and 
 ilmost forgotten productions of English litera- 
 ture ; and it is highly valuable and interesting 
 
 (»; 
 
 to one who is desirous .sf studying the bistorv 
 of the English language, though it is little 
 adapted to popular use for the common pur- 
 poses of a dictionary. 
 
 38. The greatest and most important work on 
 English lexicography, that has appeared since 
 the first publication of Johnson's Dictionary, is 
 the production of the American writer, Noah 
 Webster, LL. D., eiititled « An American Dic- 
 tionary of the English Language ; " the first edi- 
 tion of which was published in 1828, in two 
 volumes 4to. It is a work of great learning and 
 research, comprising a much more full vocabu- 
 lary of the language than Johnson's Dictionary, 
 and containing many and great improvementa 
 with respect both to the etymology and defini- 
 tions of words ; but the taste and judgment of 
 the author are not generally esteemed equal to 
 his industry and erudition. 
 
 ENGLISH ORTHOEPISTS. 
 
 39. But little attention was bestowed upon 
 orthoepy, by English lexicographers, tili after- 
 the first publication of Johnson's Dictionaiy.- 
 Since that time, many dictionaries have been 
 published in which the pronunciation of the laih 
 guage has been made the principal object Ona 
 of the first works of this sort was the Dictionary, 
 of Dr. Kenrick, in a large quarto volume, pub- 
 lished in 1772. This was followed, in 1775, by 
 Perry's " B.oyal Standard English Dictionary^" a 
 small work, which had an extensive circulation, 
 both in Great Britain and in the United States. 
 " The Synonymous, Etymological, and Pronoun- 
 cing English Dictionary," a much larger work, 
 by the same author, in royal octavo, was pub 
 lished in 1805. — This latter is the work of Perry 
 which is referred to by the abbreviation P. in 
 this Dictionary. 
 
 40. In 1780, Thomas Sheridan, a native of 
 Ireland, who had been an actor of some note 
 upon the stage, and was a distinguished lecturer 
 on elocution in Londos, at Oxford, Cambridge, 
 and elsewhere, pubhshed his "Complete Dic- 
 tionary of the English Language, both with Re- 
 gard to Sound and Meaning, one main Object 
 of which is to establish a plain and permanent 
 Standard of Pronunciation." This work com- 
 manded much more attention, as a pronouncing 
 dictionary, than any other of the kind that ^ro■ 
 ceded it. 
 
 41. In 1784, the Rev. Robert Nares a ter- 
 wards archdeacon of Stafford, and one of tha 
 
B'l

 fir* t editors of the British Critic," published the 
 " Elements of Orthoepy, containing a distinct 
 View of the whole Analogy of the English Lan- 
 guage, so far as it relates to Pronunciation, Ac- 
 cent, and Quantity." This is a judicious and 
 valuable work, though not in the form of a dic- 
 tionary. 
 
 42. In J 791 appeared the first edition of the 
 celebrated Dictionary of John Walker, entitled 
 "A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary and Ex- 
 positor of the English Language ; in which not 
 only the Meaning of every Word is clearly ex- 
 plained, and the Sound of every Syllable dis- 
 tinctly shown, but where Words are subject to 
 difierent Pronunciations, the Authorities of our 
 best Pronouncing Dictionaries are fully exhibit- 
 ed, the Reasons for each are at large displayed, 
 and the preferable Pronunciation is pointed out ; 
 — to which are prefixed Principles of English 
 Pronunciation." The author had previously 
 published a valuable work, entitled " A Rhym- 
 ing Dictionary ; in which the whole Language is 
 arranged according to its Terminations." And 
 he afterwards, in 1798, published hia " Key to 
 the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and 
 Scripture Proper Names." 
 
 43. In the preparation of his Dictionary, 
 Walker made pronunciation his leading object; 
 and for this it is chiefly valued. His design 
 was, as he expresses it, "principally to give a 
 kind of history of pronunciation, and to register 
 its present state." His Dictionary has been very 
 extensively circulated both in Great Britain and 
 the United States " It has been," as the Penny 
 Cycloptedia states, " eminently successful, hav- 
 ing gone through between twenty and thirty 
 editions, and having superseded all other pre- 
 vious works of the same nature." Walker was 
 long a distinguished teacher of elocution in 
 London, -vaa a careful observer, and favorably 
 situated o become acquainted with the best 
 usage. No other Englishman, probably, ever 
 gave a longer, more laborious, and thorough 
 attention to the subject of orthoepy than he, and 
 no other ever obtained so high and widely ex- 
 tended a reputation as an orthoepist* In mod- 
 
 * Walker's employment, ts a teacher of elocution, 
 waa amoivg the higher classes and best educated 
 people of England. The following testimony to his 
 merit, from the eminent statesman and orator Ed- 
 mund fiurke, is found in " Prior's Life of Burke." 
 " One 01 li.e persons who particularly solicited Mr. 
 Burke's # .ertions on this occasion was Mr., or (as he 
 Wig cojjKonly termed) Elocution Walker, author of 
 Uhe ' P-'AOuncing Diotiofiary,' and ot>er works of 
 
 em English literature, Walker holds a similai 
 rank, as an orthoepist, to that of Johnson as a 
 lexicographer. Their labors have been, in sev- 
 eral dictionaries, blended together; and their 
 names are, in a manner, proverbially associated 
 with each other, as being each the first in his 
 respective department, — Johnson for the au- 
 thority and signification of words, and Walkei 
 for their pronunciation. 
 
 44. Since the fiirst appearance of Walkern 
 Dictionary, various other pronouncing dictiona- 
 ries have been published in England, the major- 
 ity of them smaller works, designed especially 
 for the use of schools. In pronunciation, fashior 
 is changeable, as well as in other things ; and 
 though Walker may be esteemed the best guide 
 for ascertaining what was the pronunciation of the 
 language at the beginning of the present cen 
 tury, yet a considerable change has taken place 
 since his time, and on this account, some of the 
 more recent orthoepists may, in some cases at 
 least, be looked upon as better guides, in rela- 
 tion to present usage, than Walker. 
 
 45. Of the dictionaries which have been pub- 
 lished m London since the first appearance of 
 Walker's, the one which evinces much the most 
 investigation of the subject of orthoepy, is that 
 of Mr. B. H. Smart, entitled '■ A New Critical 
 Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Lan- 
 guage, adapted to the present State of Litera- 
 ture and Science," published in 1836. The 
 same work, reduced in size, entitled "Smart's 
 Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Lan 
 guage epitomized," was published in 1840. To 
 the title of this Dictionary is prefixed " Walker 
 Remodelled ;" though it is more of an original 
 work than most English dictionaries; and the 
 author has introduced, as he states, "some 
 twenty thousand words not found in Walkw." 
 " With changes," he remarks, " that extended to 
 every part of the Dictionary, it is plain that the 
 altered work was mine, not Walker's. The 
 title ' Walker Remodelled,' which the proprie- 
 tors chose to give it, had, in fact, no other foun- 
 dation than the original purpose for which they 
 had engaged me." 
 
 merit, and who had given lessons in the art to young 
 
 Burke Mr. Burke, one day, in the vicinity of 
 
 the House of Commons, introduced him to a noble 
 man, accidentally passing, with the following charac 
 teristic exordium : ' Here, my Lord Berkeley, is Mi 
 Walker, whom not to know, by name at least, wonlt 
 argue a want of knowledge of the harmonim, o» 
 dences, and proprieties of our language.' "

 46. The following remarks are extracted from 
 Mr. Smart's Preface : « Walker's Dictionary, in 
 reality a transcript of Johnson's, with the addi- 
 tion of the current pronunciation affixed to each 
 word, and the omission of the etymologies and 
 authorities, supplied for many years all that was 
 demanded in a dictionary of its kind. But the 
 ally or sixty years which have elapsed since its 
 first publication, have produced changes in sci- 
 ence, in opinions, in habits of thought, greater, 
 perhaps, than any similar space of time in any 
 past age has witnessed ; changes that have ma- 
 terially affected our language, and rendered all 
 dictionaries in some degree obsolete, tnat fairly 
 reflected its extent and application only forty 
 years ago. The oroprietors of Walker's Dic- 
 tionary, finding it would slide entirely out of 
 use unless it were adapted to the present day, 
 engaged me, as a teacher of elocution, known 
 in London since Walker's decease, to make the 
 necessary changes. They believed that they 
 Imposed no greater task upon me than the in- 
 sertion of new words, and the revision through- 
 out of Walker's pronunciation; but'I soon found, 
 
 that, with any chance of success, much greater 
 innovations must be attempted Dis- 
 posed, on general points, to think entirely with 
 my predecessor, 1 have not had any very exten- 
 sive occasion for diflering from him in particu- 
 lars ; but some occasions have occurred, as 
 might be expected, from the distance between 
 his day and mine. In short, I pretend to reflec 
 the oral usage of English, such as it is at pres- 
 ent, among the sensible and well-educated ir 
 
 the British metropolis I am a Lon 
 
 doner, have lived nearly all my life rn London, 
 and have been able to observe the usage of all 
 classes. As a teacher of the English language 
 and literature, I have been admitted into some 
 of the first families of the kingdom ; as one 
 partial to books, I have come much into contact 
 with bookish men ; while, as a public reader and 
 lecturer, I have been obliged to fashion my own 
 pronunciation to the taste of the day. Thus 
 prepared, I may not unwarrantably believe that 
 my opinion may have some value with those 
 who seek the opinion of another to regulate 
 their pronunciation." — See p. xxii. 
 
 A CATALOGUE OF ENGLISH DICTIONARIES. 
 
 The first part of the following Catalogue com- 
 prises not only dictionaries of English words, or 
 of the English language, but also many bilingual 
 dictionaries ; that is, dictionaries containing a 
 vocabulary not only of the English but also of 
 some other languages, ancient or modern, as 
 English and Latin, English and French, &c., — 
 dictionaries which were written for the purpose 
 of facilitating the study of ancient languages and 
 of foreign modern languages. All the earlier 
 lexicographical labors in England were spent on 
 works of this sort No attempt has been made 
 to exhibit here a complete list of these bilingual 
 dictionaries, except in the earlier part of the 
 period embraced in the Catalogue. 
 
 Withm a century past, a great many dic- 
 tionaries have been published in England, and 
 a considerable number also in the United States, 
 for the purpose of facilitating the study of sev- 
 eral ancient, and of numerous modem lan- 
 guages. A few of these, that are particularly 
 eonnected with English literature, are included 
 in the f blowing Catalogue ; but the most of 
 U\em are ntiro'y omitted. 
 
 There are many points reiatmg to Engiisn 
 lexicography that are not easily ascertained. 
 Many of the dictionaries have had their titiea 
 changed from those which were given them in 
 the first edition ; many of them have been 
 much altered by the labor of subsequent editors 
 with respect to some, it is not easy to ascertain 
 the date of the first edition; and somu have un- 
 doubtedly been published which have passed 
 into oblivion, and are now entirely unknown. 
 
 It is not easy to form an unexceptionable 
 classification of dictionaries ; and there are 
 some respecting which it is difficult to deter- 
 mine to what class they most properly belong 
 The list of the dictionaries of the various arts 
 and sciences, contained in the following Cata- 
 logue, is not complete. The object has been 
 to insert all the most important ones; though 
 there are, doubtless, some that are omitted mora 
 important than some that are inserted. Die 
 tionanes of facts, comprising biography, geogra 
 phy, history, mythology, &c., also most of thn 
 glossaries to individual authors, are intentionallj 
 omitted.

 the fire, ffy^ Most lexicographers and grammarians, who 
 treat particularly of this word, regard it as properly used 
 only in the plural ; as is the fact with respect to the lexi- 
 cographers Johnson and Walker, and the grammarians 
 Lowth, Murray, Allen, Crorabie, and Hiley. Dr. Web- 
 ster and some other grammarians, however, regard it as 
 properly used in both numbers. There are respectable 
 authorities for using it in the singular; as, "like a belr- 
 lowsj" Dryden: — "the common bellows is formed," &:c. 
 Francis's Dictionary of the Arts and Sciences ; — *' each bel- 
 lows," P. Cyc. Smart says, " Though generally consid- 
 ered as plural, some authors join it to a verb sinfrular; 
 and this will justify the pronunciation bel'bis.^^ — Walk- 
 er remarks that "the last syllable of this word, like that 
 of ^flifows, is corrupted beyond recovery into lus," — As a 
 plural noun, it would be analogically pronounced bel'lOz.

 branch of natural knowledge which teaches us the prop*

 the powers which preside over, their union ; it examines 
 the proportions in which they combine, and the modes 
 of separating them when combined ; and endi'avors to 
 apply such knowledge to the explication of natural phe-

 ClEv'er, a. Dexterous; skilful. Addison. Just; fit; prop- 
 er ; commodious. Pope. Well-shaped ; handsome. Arbuth- 
 not {f^ Johnson, after giving the above definitions of 
 clever, adds, " This is a low word, scarcely ever used but 
 in burlesque or conversation; and applied to any thing a 
 man likes, without any settled meaning." It is, howev- 
 er, an old word in the language, and used by the best 
 English authors ; but it is used in somewhat different 
 senses in different parts of England. Coles (1677) defines 
 it "neat, smooth, dexterous;" Bailey^ "skilful, inge- 
 nious, neat-handed, well-shaped;" Forby, "dexterous, 
 adroit;" and Ray^ " neat, elegant." — "In either sense," 
 
 says Forby, " it is so very common and general, and ap 
 pears so to have been for many years, that it seema dim 
 cult to conceive how Sir Thomas D'owne shruld hav 
 been struck with it as a provincialism ; and still more 
 how Ray, long afterwards, should have let it pr.ss as such 
 without any remark. A colloquial and familiar terra i 
 certainly is ; but assuredly not provincial, nor even low.' 
 In the United States, clever is much used as a colloqui- 
 al word, in the sense of good-natured, well-disposed, hon- 
 est; and the phrase, " clever man," or " clever fellow," is 
 empl(-«ed to denote a person of ^ood nature, good dis 
 position, or good intentions ; but it is otherwise in Eng 
 land. — "When a man," says Bishop Home, "takes it 
 into his head to do mischief, the public has always reason 
 to lament his being a clever fellow."

 ^f^ " There are such considerable authorities for each 
 of these pronunciations as render a decision on thai 
 ground somewhat difficult. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Ashj Dr 
 Kenrick, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Bailey, place tha 
 accent on the second syllable ; and Mr. Nares, W. 
 Johnston, and Entick, accent the first. Mr. Sheridan 
 and Mr. Scott place it on both, and consequently leave 
 it undecided. Since authorities are so equal, and anal- 
 ogy so precarious, usage must be the umpire ; and my 
 observation fails me, if that which may be called the 
 best usage does not decide in favor of the accent on the 
 first syllable." Walker. Of the above authorities includeu

 Q:^ The following words, abridgmentj acknowledgment^ 
 and judgment^ are to be found, with the orthography 
 here given, in the English dictionaries which preceded 
 the publication of Mr. Todd's improved edition of Dr. 
 Johnson's Dictionary. Todd altered Johnson's orthog- 
 raphy of these words, by the insertion of an c, thus, 
 abridgement^ acknowledgement, judgement; and he re- 
 marks, "Several authors have revived this orthogra- 
 phy, retaining the e to soften, as Lowth observes on 
 judgement, the preceding g, and as Johnson himself 
 analogically writes lodgement." 
 
 The English dictionaries of Jameson and Smart, 
 which have appeared since the publication of Todd's 
 edition of Johnson, also retain the e ; and Smart remarks, 
 in relation to the three words in question, that "Todd 
 restores the e in order that they may not exhibit the oth- 
 wise unexampled irregularity of g soft before a conso- 
 nant;" and he "adopts the more correct, however less 
 usual spelling." Many respectable writers now insert 
 the e in these words. The omission of it, however, has 
 been hitherto, and still continues to be, the prevailing 
 
 usage ; but it is perhaps not very mprobable that the 
 usage may yet be changed, and ttai more consistent or 
 thography be generally adopted.

 appropriated to the daughters of gentlemen under the age 
 of ten. Mistress was then the style of grown-up unmar- 
 ried ladies, though the mother was living; and, for a 
 considerable part of the century, maintained its ground 
 againat the infantine term of Miss." —Todd.] See Mis- 
 tress. 
 
 Q:y With respect to the use of this title, when two or 
 more persons of the same name are spoken of or ad- 
 dressed, there is a good deal of diversity. Some give the 
 plural form to the Tiamc ; as, "The Miss Smi(A*f " — others, 
 to the title ; as, ^^Tbe Misses Smith." In conversation, 
 the former prevails ; in written or printed composition, 
 usage ia divided ; and in addressing letters, the latter ia 
 the more common. The following authorities are given 
 in favor of the former mode, as used in composition : — 
 "The Miss dotterels." James JVorthcote; James BoswelL 
 " The Miss Wilkinsons." Ed. Malone. " The Miss 
 Penns." Richard Rush. " The Miss Porters." Fxlectit 
 Remew. " Tiie two Miss Smiths." Chambcrs^s Journal. 
 — The following are in favor of the latter form : — " The 
 Misses More." Bp. Home. ** The two Misses Porter." 
 Sir Err. Brydges. " The Misses Porter." Cfiarles Lamb. 
 "The" Misses Gosset." Sir Robert Pee/. — Those gram- 
 marians, who treat of the subject, generally favor the for-^ 
 mer mode, (Miss Smiths ;) though some make an excep- 
 tion in addressing letters. — " 'The Miss Sniitlis^ — much 
 preferable to * The Misses SmiVt.'* " QranVs Grammar. 
 
 The following remarks are quoted from Dr. Crombie'8 
 Grammar : " Two or more substantives in concordance, 
 and forming one complex name, or a name and title, have 
 the plural termination annexed to the last only ; as, ' Th* 
 two Miss Louisa Howards^'' * The two Miss Thomsons ' 
 Analogy, Dr. Priestley observes, would plead in favor ot 
 another construction, and lead us to say, * The two Misse* 
 Thomson,' ' The two Misses Louisa Howard i ' for if the 
 ellipsis were supplied, we should s^y, *The two young 
 ladies of the name of Thomson,' and this construction, 
 he adds, he has somewhere met with. The latter form 
 of expression, it is true, occasionally occurs ; but general 
 usage, and. I am rather inclined to think, analogy like- 
 wise, deciae in favor of ihe former ; for, with a few ei 
 ceptions, and these not parallel to the examples now giv 
 en, we almost uniformly, in complex names, confin« 
 the inflection to the last substantive. — We say, indeed, 
 ' Messrs. Thomson ; ' but we seldom or never say, ' The 
 two Messrs. Thomson,' but • The two Mr. Thomsons.' " 
 Hiley, in his Grammar, says, "In conversation the 
 plural termination is annexed to the last noun only. But 
 in composition and addressing letters to individuals ol 
 the same name, we pluralize the title; as, ■ To the Mis.>ed 
 Howard;' * To Jlfessrs. Thomson.' But both in conver- 
 sation and in composition we pluralize only the jtame of 
 married ladies ; as, * Mrs. Wilsons were there ; ' * To Mrs. 
 Hoioards.' " — Thus also Dr. Watts:—" May there not be 
 Sir Isaac Jifewtona in every science? — You must not sup- 
 pose the world is made up of Lady Aurora Granvilles."^ 
 
 Miss, V. a. [». MISSED ; pp. missing, missed.] To fail of hit- 
 ting, reaching, finding, or obtaining ; to mistake ; to omit ,

 py " Mr. Sheridan, Dr. Kenrick, Dr. Ash, Mr. Scolt, 
 W. Johnston, and Entick, make the first syllable of this 
 word short, as I have done ; and Mr. Perry and Buchan- 
 an make it long. In defence of the first pronunciation, 
 it may be observed, that this word is not like primacy 
 a,nd primary; the Orst of which is a formative of our 
 Oivn ; and the second derived from the Lathi primaritis, 
 which, in our pronunciation of the Latin, does not short- 
 en the i in the first syllable, as privativus does ; and there- 
 fore thessc words are no rule for the pronunciation of this, 
 which, besides the general tendency of the penultimate 
 accent to shorten every vowel it falls on but u, seems to 
 have another claim to the short vowel from it:s termina- 
 tion ; thus sanative, donative, primitive, derivative, Slc, all 
 plead for the short sound." Walker.

 PRP^GR&SS',* v. n. [i. PROGRESSED ; pp. PROGRESSING, Phu 
 
 GROSSED.] To make progress ; to advance ; to proceed ; 
 to move forward. 25° The verb prog'ress^ with the ac* 
 cent on the first syllable, is found in Shakspeare ; and 
 Dr. Johnson inserted it in his Dictionary, noted as " not 
 iniise." The word is also found in Milton, used in an 
 active sense; as, "to progress a circle;" in this sense 
 however, it is entirely obsolete. But the neuter verfe 
 progress', with the accent on the second syllable, is of 
 modern origin or revival ; and it has generally been 
 regarded as an Americanism. It often occurs, both la 
 conversation and in published writings, though a great 
 part of our best writers forbear the use of it. It has of lata 
 been much used in England, and by writers of high 
 respectability. Among the numerous Englisli authorities 
 that may be brought forward for the use of it, are th* 
 following: — Sir Robert Peel, O'Connell, Coleridge^ 
 Dick, Hood, Bulwer, Dickens, the British Critic, th 
 Edinburgh Review, the Q,uarterly Review, the Monthly 
 Review, the Eclectic Review, the Dublin Revieur, the 
 Gentleman's Magazine, the Christian Observer, aid the 
 Penny Cyclopedia; and it is also inserted in t'e late 
 English Dictionaries of Maunder, Knowles, Sma t, and 
 Reid.

 J)i^ " We must not suppose this word to be the offspring 
 of the English word to railj however nearly they may be 
 sometimes allied in practice. Raillery comes directly 
 from the French word raUlerie; and, in compliment ta 
 that language for the assistance it so often aflbrds us, 
 we pronounce the first syllable nearly as in the original. 
 This, however, is not a mere compliment, like the gen- 
 erality of those we pay the French ; for, were we to pro- 
 nounce the first syllable like rai7, it might obscure anO 
 pervert the meaning. Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott, Dr. Ken- 
 rick, Mr. Nares, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Smith 
 pronounce it as I have marked it." Walker.

 EAth'er, [r&tR'er, S. P. J. E. F. R. Wb. ; rSLth'^r or ra'ther, 
 W. ; ra'ther, Ja. K. Sm.] ad. [Originally the comp. from 
 Rath.] More willingly ; preferably to the other ; with bet- 
 ter reason; in preference; more properly ; especially. — 
 To have rather^ to desire in preference. 3^*' Dr. John- 
 son tells us that this word is the comparative of rath, a 
 Saxon word signifying soon, and that it still retains its 
 original signification ; as we may say, ' I would sooner do 
 a thing,' with aa much propriety as 'I would rather do 
 it.' Some very respectable speakers pronounce this word 
 with the first syllable like that in ror-ven ; and Mr, Nares 
 has adopted this pronunciation. Dr. Ash and Bailey seem 
 to be of the same opinion; but all the other orthogpists, 
 from whom we can certainly know the quantity of the 
 vowel, as Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Elphinstone, Mr. Scott, Dr. 
 Kenrick, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Enlick, 
 make it short. There is a pronunciation of this, and 
 some few other words, which may not improperly be 
 called diminutive. Thus, in familiar conversation, when 
 we wish to express very little^ we sometimes lengthen the 
 vowel, and pronounce the word as if written leetle. In 
 the same manner, when rather signifies ju5£ preferable, we 
 lengthen the first vowel, and pronounce it long and slen- 
 der, as if written rayther; and this, perhaps, may be the 
 reason that the long, slender sound of the vowi-l has so 
 much obtained ; for usage seems to be clearly on the 
 side of the other pronunciation, and analogy requires it, 
 as this word is but the old comparative of the word rath, 
 soon." Walker.

 J):5=" "Dr. Johnson, Dr. Ash, Dr. Kenrick, Mr. Barclay, 
 Mr. Nares, Mr. Scott, Mr. Fry, and Entick, accent this 
 word on the second syllable ; Mr. Sheridan and Bailey on 
 the last; and Fenning, only, on the hrst. But, notwith- 
 standing so many authorities are against me, I am nmch 
 deceived if the analogy of pronunciation be not decided- 
 ly in favor of that accentuatio'^ which I have given. We 
 have but few instances in the language where we receive 
 a word from the Latin, by dropping a syllable, that we 
 do not remove the accent higher than the original. Thus 
 recondite, derived from recondUus, may with as much pro- 
 priety remove the accent from the long penultimate, as 
 carbuncle from carbuncubcs^ calumny from calumnia, detri- 
 ment from detrimcntum, innocency from innocentia, contro- 
 versy from controversial and a thousand others. The word 
 incondite must certainly follow the fortunes of the present 
 word ; and we find those orthoepists, who have the word, 
 accent it as they do recondite^ Mr. Sheridan on the last 
 syllable, but Mr. Fenning, inconsistently, on the second."

 ond syllable of this word ; and, as Mr. Nares observes, 
 Dr. Johnson has, on the authority of these authors, adopt- 
 ed this accentuation. ' But this,' says Mr. Nares, * is ir- 
 regular ; for every monosyllabic termination, added to a 
 word accented on the antepenult, throws the accent to 
 the fourth syllable from the end.' With great respect for 
 Mr. Nares's opinion on this subject, I should think a 
 much easier and more general rule might be laid down 
 for all words of this kind, which is, that those words 
 which take the Saxon terminations after them, as er, less, 
 ness, l&ssness^ ly, &c., preserve the accent of the radical 
 word; therefore th is and the following words ought to 
 have the same accent as remedy, from which they are 
 formed." Walker.

 to which our language is so prone in simples of three syl- 
 lables, has so generally obtained as to make it doubtful to 
 which side the best usage inclines. Dr. Johnson, Sheridan, 
 Ash, Kenrick, Nares, Bailty,and Fenning, accent the sec- 
 ond syllable ; and Buchanan, W. Johnston, Perry, Barclay, 
 and Entick, the first. Scott accents both, but prefers the 
 first. In this case, then, analogy ought to decide for plac-

 other sources ; income ; annual profits from lands or otheZ 
 funds. J)::^"This word seems as nearly balanced be- 
 tween the accent on the first and second syllable as pos- 
 sible ; but as it is of the same form and origin as aveniu 
 and retinae, it ought to follow the same fortune. Retinue 
 seems to have been long inclining to accent the first syl- 
 lable, and avenue has decidedly done so, since Dr. Watts 
 observed that it was sometimes accented on the second, 
 and, by this retrocession of accent, as it may be called, we 
 may easily foresee that these three words will uniformly 
 yield to the antepenultimate accent, the favorite accent 
 of our language, conformably to the general rule, which 
 accents simples of three syllables upon the first. Dr. John- 
 son, Mr. Nares, and Bailey, are for the accent on the sec- 
 ond syllable ; but Dr. Ash, Dr. Kenrick, Buchanan, W 
 Johnston, Perry, Barclay, Penning, and Entick, accent 
 the first. Mr. Sheridan gives both, but places the antepe- 
 nultimate accent first." Walker. All the principal Eng. 
 lish orthoepists, more recent than Walker, give the pref- 
 erence to placing the accent on the first syllable. Sea

 ■n. [riveiie, Fr.] A fit of wandering thought or deep mus- 
 ing j a wild fancy; meditation, 25" Both the orthogra- 
 phy and pronunciation of this word are unsettled, some 
 good writers and speakers using one form, and some the 
 other. — " This word seems to have been some years float- 
 ing between the accent on the first and last syllable, but 
 to have settled at last on the former. It may still, how- 
 ever, be reckoned among those words, which, if occasion 
 require, admit of either. It may, perhaps, be necessary to 
 observe, that some lexicographers have written this word 
 revene, instead ofrevenj^ and that, while it is thus writ- 
 ten, we may place the accent either on the first or last 
 syllable ; but, if we place the accent on the last of revei-y, 
 and pronounce the y like e, there arises an irregularity 
 which forbids it ; for y, with the accent on it, is never so 
 pronounced- Dr. Johnson's orthography, therefore, with 
 y in the last syllable, and Mr. Sheridan's accent on the 
 first, seem to be the most correct mode of writing and 
 pronouncing this word." fValker.

 {j;Cf The use of the word ride, both as a verb and a 
 noun, in the sense of being conveyed in a carriage, has 
 been regarded as an Americanism ; and it has been 
 maintained that the English use, and the proper mean- 
 ing of ride, is a conveyance on horseback; and that a 
 conveyance in a carriage is not a riefe, but a drive; and 
 it is thus used in the following quotation from Cowper. 
 " Sometimes I get into a neighbor's chaise, but generally 
 ride;" (i. e., on horseback.) — The Quarterly Review re- 
 marks upon what has been called the American use of 
 the word, that " it has been, for a hundred years, a noted 
 vulgarism in England." This "noted vulgarism" has 
 been countenanced, for more than " a hundred years," 
 by the English dictionaries ; and it is sanctioned by the 
 most eminent English lexicographers. Bailey defines the 
 verb to ride, "to go on horseback, in a coach, wagon, 
 &.C. ;" Johnson, "to travel on horseback; to travel in a 
 vehicle ;" Richardson, " to convey or carry on a horse, 
 or other animal, or in any sort of carriage ; to sit upon 
 such an animal, or in such a carriage, whether the mo 
 tion be slow or fast ; " and Todd defines the noun ride 
 " an excursion in a vehicle or on horseback ; as, ' to takfl 
 a ride.^ " — " He made him to ride in the chariot." Gen. 
 xli. 43.

 I in this word and its verb. Mr. Sheridan marks it to be 
 pronounced ; Mr. Smith, W. Johnston, and Barclay, make 
 it mute ; Mr. Scott and Mr. Perry give it both ways ; and 
 Mr. Nares says it is mute in the noun, but sounded in the 
 verb. The mute I is certainly countenanced in this word 
 by ccUve and halve ; but, as they are very irregular, and are 
 the only words where the I is silent in this situation, (foi 
 valve, delve, solve, Sec, have the I pronounced,) and as thii 
 word is of Latin original, the I ought certainly to be pre- 
 served in both words ; for, to have the same word sound 
 ed differently to signify diflTerent things, is a defect in 
 language that ought, as much as possible, to be avoided." 
 Walker.

 ftJ-The old orthography of this word was sceptic ; and 
 it IS so printed in the old dictionaries which preceded those 
 of Dr. Johnson, viz., those of Blount, Phillips, Coles, 
 Kersey, Bailey, Dyche, Ainsworth, Martin, iStc. ; but Dr. 
 Johnson introduced the orthography of ^^epfic, and in this 
 he has been followed by a majority of succeeding lexicog- 
 raphers, among whom are Ash, Kenrick, Barclay, Fen- 
 ning, Barlow, Brown, Entick, Scott, Sheridan, Perry, 
 Jones, Jameson, and Richardson ; but sceptic is preferred 
 by Lemon, Walker, Enfield, Fulton and Knight, Rees, 
 Maunder, Smart, and Reid. In the first edition of Dr. 
 Webster's large Dictionary, (1838,) the word stands scep- 
 tic^ pronounced sep'tic ; but, in the second edition, (1841,) 
 it is altered to skeptic. In encyclopiedias and dictionaries 
 of the arts and sciences, the orthography generally used 
 is sceptic. 
 
 Walker, in speaking of the orthography and pronun- 
 ciation of this word, says, " Dr. Johnson has not only 
 given his approbation to the sound of A, but has, contrary 
 to general practice, spelt the word skeptic. It is not ray 
 intention to cross the general current of polite and classi- 
 cal pronunciation, which is, I know, that of sounding the 
 e like k ; my objection is only to writing it with the k ; and 
 in this I think I am supported by the best authorities since 
 the publication of Johnson's Dictionary.'* 
 
 tn a notice of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary, in the Monthly 
 Review, in 1755, soon after its first publication, the fol- 
 lowing remark is found, in relation to this word : " Scep- 
 tic, he insists, ought to be written skeptic, but without 
 producing any authority in favor of that mode of spell- 
 ing." In all the instances, six in number, adduced by John- 
 son to illustrate the use of the words septic, sc-epticalj and 
 gcepticism, the orthography of sc, and not sk, is used ; the 
 same is the fact with respect to all the instances, nine in 
 number, adduced by Richardson in his Dictionary. The 
 orthography of sceptic, sc^tical, seeptidsm, continues to be 
 the prevailing and best usage ; sc being pronounced hard 
 like sk in these words, as in the word scirrhus.

 contrary to every rule for pronouncing words from the 
 learned languages, and ought to be altered. Ch, in Eng- 
 lish words, coming from Greek words with \, ought al- 
 ways to be pronounced like k; and I believe the word in 
 question is almost the only exception throughout the 
 language. However strange, therefore, s/riz77t may sound, 
 it is the only true and analogical pronunciation ; and we 
 might as well pronounce sdieme seme, as ackisin sitm, 
 there being exactly the same reason for both. But, when 
 once a false pronunciation is fixed, as this is, it requires 
 some daring spirit to begin the reformation ; but, whea 
 once begun, as it has (what seldom happens) truth, nov- 
 elty, and the appearance of Greek erudition, on its side, 
 there is no doubt of its success. Whatever, therefcre, 
 may be the fate of its pronunciation, it ought still to re- 
 tain its spelling. This must be held sacred, or the whole 
 language will be metamorphosed ; fcr the very same iea<

 written schirrhus and skirrhus. ^^ *' This word is 
 sometimes, but improperly, written schirrus, with the h 
 in the first syllable instead of the last , and Bailey and 
 Fenning have given us two aspirations, and spelt it 
 schirrkus ; both of which modes of spelling the word are 
 contrary to the general analogy of orthography for, as the 
 word comes from the Greek o-viJ^o;, the latter r, only, 
 can have the aspiration, as the nrst of these double let- 
 ters has always the spiritus lenis; and the c, in the first 
 syllable, arising from tlie Greek f, and not the x^ ^o 
 more reason can be given for placing the h after it, by 
 spelling it schirrus, than there is for spelling scene, from 
 CKrivfif schene i or sceptre, from c/fijTTpiJV, scheptre. The 
 most correct Latin orthography confirms this opinion, by 
 spelling the word in question scirrhus ; and, according to 
 the most settled analogy of our own language, and the 
 constant method of pronouncing words from the Greek 
 and Latin, the e ought to be soft before the i in this 
 word, and the first syHable should be pronounced like the 
 first of syr-inge, Sir-i-us, fitc. Whatever might have been 
 the occasion of the fatee orthography of this word, its 
 false pronunciation seems fixed beyond recovery." Walker.

 generally have the accent on the first syllable. Dr. John-

 ySER'GEANT, (sar'jent) [sir'jent, S. W. P,J. E. F.Ja. Wb. ;

 officer; a non-commissioned officer of the army. — A ser- 
 geantf or sergtant-at-lawy (England) is the highest degree 
 of common law, through which all must proceed before 
 attaining the dignity of judge, — Sergeant-at-anns^ an offi- 
 cer attending on the person of a king ; an officer of a 
 court, or of a legislature, whose duty it is to arrest offend- 
 ers, &c. 
 
 {t^ This word is often written serjeant; and this or- 
 thography is found in encyclopEedias, many works on 
 law, and other publications ; though the orthography in 
 most of the English dictionaries is sergeant. 
 
 J^ " There is a remarkable exception to the common 
 sound of the letter e in the words clerkj sergeant, and a 
 few others, where we find the e pronounced like the a in 
 dark and margiit. But this exception, X imagine, was, 
 till within these few years, the general rule of sounding 
 this letter before r, followed by another consonant. Thir- 
 ty years ago, every one pronounced the first syllable of 
 mercJutnt like the monosyllable march, and as it was ori- 
 ginally written, marchatit. Service and servant are still 
 heard, among the lower orders of speakers, as if written 
 sarviee and sarvantj and even among the better sort, we 
 sometimes have the salutation, * Sir, your saroant ; * 
 though this pronunciation of the word singly would be 
 looked upon as a mark of the lowest vulgarity. The 
 proper names Derby and Berkeley still retain the old 
 sound ; but even these, in polite usage, are getting into 
 the common sound, nearly as if written Durhy and 
 Bwkeley. As this modern pronunciation of the e has a 
 tendency to simplify the language by lessening the num- 
 ber of exceptions, it ought certainly to be indulged." 
 Walker* 
 
 " The letters er are irregularly sounded ar in clerk and 
 sergeant, and formerly, but not now, in merchant, Derby, 
 and several other words.'* Smart. 
 
 In the United States, the letters er are, by good speak- 
 ers, regularly sounded, as in her, in the words merchant, 
 servant, Derby, Berkeley, &.C. The ret^ular pronunciation 
 of clerk (clerk) is also a very common, if not the prevail- 
 ing, mode. Many give the same sound to e in sergeant.

 word shore^ he says, * Common shores Londinensibus ita 
 corrupts dicitur, the common sewer.^ Johnson has given 
 us no etymology of this word ; but Skinner tells us, 
 ' Non infeliciter Cotocl/u^declinata verbo M#uR,dlctumqu0 
 putat quasi issuer, abject^L initiuli syllabi!..' Nothing can 
 be more natural than this derivation ; the s going into sh 
 before u, preceded by the accent, is agreeable to analogy, 
 and the u in this case, being pronounced like ew^ might 
 easily draw the word into the common orthography, 
 sewer; while the sound of sh was preserved, and the ew. 
 as in shew, strew, and sew, might soon slide into o, and 
 thus produce the present anomaly." Walker.

 ShXll, v. [i. 3H0ULD.] It is an auxiliary and defective 
 verb, used to form the future tense. In the first person, 
 it implies having intention or purpose to, or being in a staU 
 to ; as, " I shall go ; " "I shall die." In the second and 
 third persons, it implies compulsion, command, promise. 
 or threat ; as, " you shall go ; " " you shall die ; " " they 
 shall go ; " " they shall die." 
 
 Shall and will, the two signs of the future tense in the 
 English language, are often confoundud with each othet 
 especially by foreigners, and by persons nut well versed 
 in the language. A sad misapplication of these auxilia 
 ries waa made by the foreigner, in England, who, haviu 
 fallen into the Thames, cried out, " T will be drowneo 
 nobody shall help me." Shall, in the first person, simp'

 ens; aa, "I will do it:" — and in the second and third 
 persons, it simply foretells; as, **you, he, or they, wiU

 The following remarks are quoted from Johnson: — 
 •*The explanation of sliallj which foreigners and pro- 
 vincials ctinfound with wiUj is not easy ; and the diffi- 
 culty is increased by the poets, who sometimes give to 
 sliall an emphatical sense of will; but I shall endeavor, 
 crasst MinervA, to show the meaning of shall in the fu- 
 ture tense. — 1. I shall love^ It will be so that I must 
 love; I am resolved to love. — 9. Shall I love 1 Will it 
 be permitted me to love? Will you permit me to love? 
 Will it be that I must love ? — 3. Thou 8?icUt love, I com-

 consisted of two sirloins undivided, ff". £710/. — Johnson, 
 in his definition of sir, says it is " a title given to the loin 
 of beef, which one of our kings knighted in a fit of good 
 buraor ; " or, as another phrases it, "in one of his merry 
 moods." — In this account of the origin of sirloin^ John- 
 son has been generally followed by subsequent English 
 lexicographers, who have spoken of its etymology. The 
 king referred to, according to some, was Charles II. ; but 
 according to a greater number, James I. The following 
 account is given by Dean Swift, in his "Polite Conver- 
 lation:" — "But pray why is it called ^strloin? — Why, 
 you must know that our king, James I., who loved good 
 
 you must know that our kmg, James l., wdo lovea gooa

 eating, being invited to dinner by one of his nobles, \ni 
 seeing a large loin of beef at his table, he drew out hit 
 Bword, and in a fVolic knighted it." Whether this wa« 
 related by Swift in a serious or " merry mood," may bo 
 doubted J as it may well be doubted whether this is a 
 correct account of the origin of the word. 
 It is not found in any English dictionary previous to that of 
 Johnson, with the orthography of sirloin ; but the earliei 
 orthography was surloin. Bailey's Dictionary has surloin 
 of he^y corresponding to the French surlonge de bmvf, 
 tlie obvious or probable etymologv. Surloin is also given 
 by Ainsworth; and the word occurs repeatedly in Cot- 
 gravels Dictionary^ first published in 1611, with the or- 
 thography of surloine and surloyne. See Sublo»h

 the Latin word pes, foot; — viz., biped, centiped, cirropedj 
 condyloved, milleped, multiped, palmiped, plumiped, quadf^t-

 to the others, usage is divided, though tiie final syllable o. 
 most of them has been heretofore more commonly writ- 
 ten pede, with a final e; and it is pronounced by some 
 orthoeplsts long, and by others short. There is no good 
 reason for this diversity, and the best, and, perhaps, 
 only practicable mode of establishing uniformity, is to 
 spell them all without a final e, and pronounce the final 
 syllable, pcd, short.

 its regular sound among the correctest speakers, which 
 hag induced Mr. Sheridan to mark it so ; but nothmg can 
 be more absurd than to pronounce the substantive in one 
 manner, and the adjective, derived from it by adding y, 
 in another. The other ortboepists, therefore, who pro-

 To allay; to compose; to assuage; to tranquillize; to

 igate ; to appease. ^^ " 77i, at the end of words, is 
 sharp, as death^ breath, &,c., except in beneath, booth, with, 
 and the verbs to seeth, to smooth, to sooth, to mouth, all 
 which ought to be written with e final, not only to dis- 
 tinguish some of them from the nouns, but to show that 
 th is soft ; for th, when final, is sometimes pronounced 
 soft, as in to mouth ; yet the, at the end of words, is never 
 pronounced hard. There is as obvious an analogy for this 
 sound of th in these verbs, as for the z sound of s in verbs 
 ending in se; and why we should write some verbs with 
 e, and others without it, is inconceivable. The best way 
 to show the absurdity of our orthography, in this particu- 
 lar, will be to draw out the nouns and verbs as they stand 
 in Johnson's Dictionary : —

 ' Surely nothing can be more evident than the analogy 
 of the language in this case. Is it not absurd to hesitate 
 a moment at writing all the verbs with e final. This is a 
 departure from our great lexicographer which he himself 
 would approve, as nothing but inadvertency could have 
 led him into this unmeaning irregularity." Walker. 
 
 Although Walker speaks so decidedly on this matter, 
 yet he has not accommodated the orthography of all these 
 words to the principle which he inculcates. It could be 
 wished that all the words of this class were conformed in 
 their orthography to this rule. The only ones wbich are 
 not now actually, by respectable usage, conformed to it, 
 are the verbs to mouth and to smooth^ which we hardly 
 ever see written to mouthe and to smoothe.

 {J:5" " This word and subtile have been used almost in- 
 discriminately to express very different senses, as may 
 be seen in Johnson , but, as custom has adopted a differ- 
 ent spelling and a difiereat pronunciation, it is to be pre- 
 sumed it has not been without reason. That the first 
 sense of the word, meaning Jlne, acute^ Sec, should ex- 
 tend itself to the latter, meaning sly^ ir0d^ &c., is not to 
 be wondered at, as words have a te. dency to fall into a 
 , bad sense ; witness knavo, villain, &.c. ; but, if custom has 
 marked this difference of sense by a diiference of spell- 
 ing and pronunciation, it should seem to be an effort of 
 nature to preserve precision In our ideas. If these obser- 
 ^valions are just, the abstracts of these words ought to be 
 ^ kept as distinct as their concretes : from subtile ought to

 J)5^*'This word is not unfrequently pronounced with 
 the accent on the second syllable, as if it were formed 
 from success ; but this accentuation, though agreeable to 
 its Latin original, has, as in confessor, yielded to the pre- 
 vailing power of the English antepenultimate accent. 
 Dr. Johnson, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Elphinston, and Entick 
 accent this word on the first syllable; and Dr. Ash, Dr. 
 Kenrick, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry, Buchanan, and Bailey, 
 on the second ; Barclay and Fenning give both, but pre- 
 fer the first ; Mr. Scott gives both, and prefers the second : 
 but, from the opinion that is foolishly gone forth, that we 
 ought to accent words as near the beginning as possible, 
 there is little doubt that the antepenultimate accent will 
 prevail." Walker. — " This is one of the words over 
 which fashion now relaxes its sway in favor of the

 " From this survey of our dictionaries, we find them 
 uniform only n tiie word tenor. They are nearly equally 
 divided on the word tenat ; and, if similitude were to de- 
 cide, it would be cleaily in favor of the short vowel, in 
 ihis word as well a=3 in tenor. They are both Latin words, 
 and both have the vowel short in the original. This, how- 
 ever, is no reason, with those who understand the anal- 
 ogy of Engli'ih pronunciation, (for tremor^ minor, &c., have 
 the first vowel short in Latin,) but it sufficiently shows 
 the partiality of the ear to the short vowel in words of 
 this form, as is evident in the word tenant." Walk&r,

 "the term tramcendetUal is applied to any thing that lies 
 beyond the bounds of our experience, or which does not 
 come within the reach of our senses. All philosophy 
 which carries its investigations beyond the sphere of 
 things which fall under our senses, is transcendental, and 
 the term is thus synonymous with metaphysical. Tran- 
 scendental philosophy may begin with experience, and 
 thence proceed beyond it ; or it may start from ideas, a 
 priori, which are in oar mind: — in the latter case the 
 philosophy is purely transcendental, while in the former 
 It is of a mixed character." P. Cyc.

 wiw, eye. {jCf" Two aspirations in succession, says Mr. 
 Elphinsf.on, seem disagreeable to an English ear, and 
 therefor? one of them is generally sunk. Thus diphthong- 
 and tripi'ithong are pronounred dipthong and tripthong, P 
 is lost, a3 well as A, in apophthegm t and therefore it is no 
 wonder we hear the first h dropped in ophthalmy and oph- 
 *kalmic, which is the pronunciation I have adopted, as 
 agreealile to analogy. Nay, such an aversion do we seem 
 to have to a succession of aspirates, that the A is sunk in 
 
 is:\m,is, £s(Aer, and Demosifte/ies [?], because the *, whict 
 i§ akin to the aspiration, immediately precedes. Mr Sheri 
 dan pronounces the first syllable of ophthalmic 1 ke off, 
 but the first of diphthong and triphthong like dip and trip 
 Mr. Scott, W. Johnston, and Mr. Perry, pronounce dlpli- 
 tJiong and triphthong in the same manner as Mr. Sheridan 
 Dr. Kenrick gives no pronunciation to diphthong, but 
 makes the h silent in triph^ong; while Ban tiy pro- 
 nounces the A in ophthalmic, but makes it either way in 
 diphthong, and silent in triphthong. It may be remarked^ 
 that Dr. Jones, who wrote a spelling dictionary in Q,ueen 
 Anne's time, makes the h in those two words silent."

 J:^ "This word is perfectly Anglicized, and therefore 
 ought to have its last syllable pronounced according to 
 English analogy, like centre, sceptre, mitre, &c. There ii 
 a common mistake in the use of the Latin word fron 
 which this is derived, which it may not be improper to 
 rectify. Vertebra is not unfrequently used to signify tb& 
 whole collection of joints which form the backbone, 
 while in reality it means only one of those joints: the 
 plural is vertebras, and this ought to be used for the whole 
 spine, if we denominate it by a Latin word ; but if we 
 speak English, it ought to be vertebres, and pronounced 
 as if written vertebvrs.''^ Walker.

 J)5" " These two modesof pronunciation have beenlona 
 
 contending for superiority, till at last the former [windj 
 seems to have gained a complete victory, except in the 
 
 territories of rhyme Mr. Sheridan tells us that 
 
 Swift used to jeer those who pronounced wind with the i 
 short, by saying, *I have a great mind to find why you 
 pronounce it wijid.* A very illiberal critic retorted this 
 upon Mr. Sheridan by saying, ' If I may be so boold, I 
 should be glad to be toold why you pronounce it guold.* 
 .... Mr, Sheridan and Mr. Scott give the same prefer- 
 ence to the first sound of this word that I have done. Dr 
 Kenrick and Mr. Barclay give only the short sound, Mr. 
 Perry joins them iu this sound, but says in dramatic 
 scenes it has the long one. Mr. Nares says it has cer- 
 tainly the short sound in common usage, but that all our 
 best poets rhyme it with mind, kind^ &c. ; and Rlr. Smith 
 observes, that it is now the polite pronunciation, though 
 against auEdogy." Walker.

 saying, or in forging an apposite tale ; sometimes it play- 
 eth in words and phrases, taking advantage from the ambi- 
 guity of their sense, or the affinity of their sound ; some- 
 times it is wrapped up in a dress of humorous expres- 
 sion ; sometimes it lurketh under an odd similitude 
 sometimes it is lodged in a sly question, in a smart an- 
 swer^ in a quirkish reason, in a shrewd intimation, in 
 cunnmgly diverting or cleverly retorting an objection 
 sometimes it is couched in a bold scheme of speech, in » 
 tart irony, m a lusty hyperbole, in a startling metaphor 
 in a plausible reconciling of contradictions, or in acute 
 nonsense ; sometimes a scenical representation of |mr 
 sons or thmgs, a counterfeit speech, a mimical loos oi 
 gesture, passeth for it; sometimes an affected simplicity, 
 sometimes a presumptuous bluntness, giveth it being 
 sometimes it riseth only from a lucky hitting upon what 
 is strange ; sometimes from a crafty wrestmg obvious 
 matter to the purpose. Often it consirfteth in oneinowa 
 not what, and springeth up one can hardly tell how. Its 
 ways are unaccountable and inexplicable, being answer- 
 able to the numberless ruvings of fancy and windings of 
 language."

 — " Would has the signification of J wish, or I pray. This, 
 I believe, is improper, and formed by a gradual corrup* 
 tion of the phrase would Ood ; which originally imported, 
 that Ood would^ might Ood wiU, mig/tt Ood decree. From 
 this phrase, ill understood, came ^^would to Ood ,* " thence 
 "/ would to Oodi" and thence /would, or, eHiptically 
 would, came to signify I wish: — and it is used even by 
 good authors, but ought not to be imitated."

 J):^"The first pronunciation of this word, [wQnd,] 
 though generally received among the polite world, is cer 
 tainly a capricious novelty, — a novelty either generated 
 by false criticism, to distinguish it from the preterit of the 
 verb to mind, of which there was not the least danger oi 
 interference, or more probably from an affectation of the 
 French sound of this diphthong, which, as in paur, and 
 some other words, we find of late to have prevailed. Tha 
 stage is in possession of this sound, and what Swift ob- 
 serves of newspapers, with respect to the introduction of 
 new and fantastical words, may be applied to the stage 
 with respect to new and fantastical modes of pronuncia- 
 tion. That the other pronunciation was the established 
 sound of the word, appears from the poets, who rhyme it 
 with bound, found, ground, and around; and it is still so 
 among the great bulk of speakers, who learn this sound 
 at school, and are obliged to unlearn it again when they 
 come into the conversation of the polite world. Mr. Sher- 
 idan, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Elphinston, adopt the first sound 
 of this word ; but Dr. Kenrick and W. Johnston the sec- 
 ond: Mr. Perry gives botii, but prefers the first; and though 
 Mr. Smith, in his Vocabulary, has classed it with sound 
 and found, he says woond is the common pronunciation 
 I am, however, of Mr. Nares*s opinion, who says this pro- 
 nunciation ought to be entirely banished. But where ia 
 the man bold enough to risk the imputation of vulgarity 
 by such an expulsion?" Walker. — Smart styles wbund 
 "the old-fashioned, pronunciation."

 Q^ " Junius gives us a great variety of derivations of 
 this word, but seems most to approve of that from gae- 
 mariy in the old Prisic, signifying a countryman or vil- 
 lager ; and this word is derived further, by Junius, from 
 the Greek yaTa^ yair], yfj, wliich, he tells us, does not 
 only signify the earth in general, but any great portion 
 of land. Skinner says it may be derived from the Anglo- 
 Saxon genuBnBj or the Teutonic gemeln, a common man, 
 or one of the commonalty ; or from eowemariy a shepherd j 
 from goodman, an appellation given to inferior people ; 
 ftom gemana, a companion; from geongmauy a young 
 man ; from jeman^ an ordinary man, or any body, like 
 the Spanish hidalgo; but he prefers its derivation from 
 the Anglo-Saxon guma, a painful or laborious man. 
 
 "But, however widely etymologists are divided in the 
 derivation of this word, orthoepists are not less different 
 in their pronunciation of it. Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scott, Mr. 
 Coote, (author of the 'Elements of Grammar,') Steele's 
 Grammar, (published in Q.ueen Anne's time,) Mr. Bar- 
 clay, Mr. Smith, and Buchanan, pronounce it with the 
 diphthong short, as if written ySmman ; Dr. Kenrick pro- 
 nounces it as if written y^mman; Mr. Elphinston (who 
 quotes Langham, the famous reformer of orthography in 
 Queen Elizabeth's time, for the same pronunciation) 
 Bounds the eo l^ke ee; and Dr. Jones, the author of the 
 •New Art of Spelling,' in Q.ueen Anne's time, pro- 
 nounces it in the same manner j to which we may add 
 Ben Jonson, who says that yeoman, people, and jeopardy, 
 were truer written y6m^n, peple, jepardy. But W. John- 
 ston, Mr. Perry, Entick, and Pry, pronounce the eo like 
 long, open o, as if written ydman ; and this last appears 
 to me to be the most received pronunciation. It is that 
 which we constantly hear applied to the king's body- 
 guard, and it is that which has always been the pronun- 
 ciation on the stage, — an authority which, in this case, 
 may not, perhaps, improperly be called the best echo of 
 the public voice. I well remember hearing Mr. Garrick 
 pronounce the word in this manner, in a speech in King 
 Lear : * Tell me, fellow, is a madman a gentleman or a 
 ydman 7'" Walker.

 Q^ " This word is worn into a somewhat slenderer 
 sound than what is authorized by the orthography ; but 
 e and i are frequently interchangeable, and few changes 
 can be better established than this. W. Johnston and 
 Mr. Ferry are the only orthoepists, who give the sound

 plural construction ; as, " yoit were," instead of " thou 
 toast." ^^ " In the sentence, * Though he told youy he

 possessive forms of you. Your is used when the thing 
 
 possessed follows; as, "your look; ' otbc^rwlae your» 
 as, " This book ib yours." 
 
 ^fC?' " This word is nearly under the same predicamen 
 as the pronoun my. When the emphasis is upcn thii 
 word, it Is always pronounced full and open, like tbs 
 noun ewer ; as, ' The moment I had read your letter, I 
 sat down to write mine;* but when it is not emphati* 
 cal, it generally sinks Into yur, exactly like the last sylla* 
 ble of lavMfer f as, ' I had just answered yur first letter. 
 as yur last arrived.* Here, if we were to say, * I had 
 just answered your first letter as your last arrived,* with 
 your sounded fUU and open like ewer, as in the former 
 sentence, every delicate ear would be offended. Thu 
 obscure sound of the possessive pronoun your alway* 
 takes place when it is used to signify any species oi 
 persons or things in an indeterminate sense. Thus, 
 Addison, speaking of those metaphors which profession 
 al men most commonly fall into, says, ' Your men of 
 business usually have recourse to such instances as are 
 
 too mean and famihar.* The pronunciation of 
 
 your, in yourse^, is a confirmation of these observations '*

 i):^"TIiere are few words better confirmed by au- 
 thority in their departure from the sound of their simples 
 than this and zealous. Dr. Kenrick gives both sounds to both 
 words, but prefers the abort sound by placing it first ; but 
 Mt- Elphinston, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Nares, Mr. Smith, Mr. 
 Perry, Barclay, and JBntick, give both these words the 
 short sound. As the word zealous may either come from 
 the Latin zetusy or rather zelosusj or be a formative of our 
 own from zeoZ, as vUlanouSj libelloiLSj &c., from villain^ 
 libel, ScCf analogy might very allowably be pleaded for 
 tiie long sound of the diphthong ; and, if custom were less 
 decided, I should certainly give my vote for it ; but, as 
 propriety of pronunciation may be called a compound

THE EDITOR^S PEEFACE. 
 
 The following pages contain the whole of Walker's " Key to the Classical Prorun- 
 ciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names," together with his " Introduction," 
 " Rules," and " Notes," and also his " Observations on the Greek and Latin Accent and 
 Cluantity." To the Greek and Latin names inserted by Walker in his Key, have been 
 here added, by the Editor, about 3,000 other Greek and Latin names. Of these addi- 
 tional names, about 2,400 have been taken from the " Classical Pronunciation of Proper 
 Names, established by Citations from the Greek and Latin Poets, Greek Historians, 
 Geographers, and Scholiasts," by Thomas Swinburne Carr, of King's College, 
 London ; between 500 and 600 are words which were added by the Rev. W. Trollope, 
 A. M., one of the Masters of Christ's Hospital, London, in his edition of Walker's 
 Key ; and some have also been inserted, which were taken from Scheller's " Latin and 
 German Lexicon." 
 
 The words standing in the Initial Vocabulary without a letter annexed to them, are 
 words found in Walker's Key; and they are inserted with his pronunciation, the nota- 
 tion added to them being in general accordance with his principles. It is the same 
 notation that is used in the preceding Dictionary. The words to which (C) {T.) or 
 {S.) are annexed, are taken respectively from Carr, Trollope, and Scheller. 
 
 There is a considerable number of the Greek and Latin names, in the pronunciation 
 of which Carr differs from Walker. These names are repeated in the Initial Vo- 
 cabulary, the pronunciation of Carr following that of Walker, having the letter (C) 
 annexed to it. In the pronunciation of a considerable number of words. Walker is 
 influenced by English analogy and usage ; but Carr adheres rigidly to classical au- 
 thority, and has no regard to English analogy or English usage ; and with respect to 
 the pronunciation of the words which they pronounce differently, that of Carr is almost 
 always better supported by classical authority, than that of Walker. Carr says of 
 his work, — " The object of it is to determine the pronunciation of classical proper 
 names solely on the basis of classical authority, — including, of course, metrical quota 
 
 tions, orthography, and etymology As it was the object of the author to establish 
 
 the classical pronunciation of proper names, it was a matter of very secondary im- 
 portance as to whether the accentuation of any particular name, if based upon classical 
 authority, might coincide or not with that adopted by popular usage. It did npt fall 
 within the limits of his task ' to consult the English ear,' or to recognize the * analogy ' 
 of the English language,' as in the slightest degree competent to establish the pro- 
 nunciation of dead languages, which can only be recovered firom a perusal of their 
 iterary monuments now existing." 
 
 The few critical notes inserted by Mr. Trollope, in his edition of Walker's Key, 
 in some of which he combats Walker's principles, are inserted in their propel

 places ; and the Editor has also added a very few notes of his own. Though sc mt 
 obvious errors, mostly typographical, in Walker's Key, have been corrected, yet the 
 a^Durse pursued has been to allow Walker's pronunciation to stand as he intended it 
 s-iould. His decisions, however, are in many instances combated by other authorities. 
 
 The words added to the Initial Vocabulary of this edition of the Key, are not 
 "nserted in the Terminational Vocabulary. Walker inserted many words in the Terrni- 
 national Vocabulary which he did not introduce into the Initial Vocabulary ; and some 
 words found in both are pronounced differently in the two Vocabularies. Some palpa- 
 ble inconsistencies and errors have been corrected ; yet the Terminational Vocabulary 
 remains, for the most part, as Walker left it. 
 
 The pronunciation of but a small part of the Scripture Proper Names can be de- 
 termined by classical authority; and they are, therefore, much more subjected to the 
 English analogy, than the Greek and Latin names. The pronunciation of most of 
 these names, as given by Walker, is in accordance with general usage. There is, 
 however, a considerable number of them respecting the pronunciation of which other 
 respectable orthoepists diifer from him. These names stand in the Initial Vocabulary 
 with Walker's pronunciation placed first, followed by the deviations from him of the 
 following orthoepists ; namely, Oliver, Perry, Smart, Carr, and also Taylor, the editor 
 of Calmet's " Dictionary of the Bible." In some cases, the deviations are, doubtless, 
 to be preferred to Walker's mode. 
 
 The great addition now made to the vocabulary of Greek and Latin names m this 
 work, and the exhibition of the authorities of other orthoepists in relation to many 
 of the Greek, Latin, and Scripture proper names, with regard to which the pronuncia- 
 tion of Walker is combated, will give this edition of his " Key " advantages over an} 
 other that has yet been published.

PREFACE. 
 
 The " Critical Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language naturally suggested an idea o. 
 the present work. Proper names from the Greek and Latin form so considerable a part of every 
 cultivated living language, that a dictionary seems to be imperfect without them. Polite schola.B, 
 indeed, are seldom at a loss for the pronunciation of words they so frequently mee^ with in the 
 learned languages ; but there are great numbers of respectable English scholars, who, having only 
 a tincture of classical learning, are much at a loss for a knowledge of this part of it. It is not 
 only the learned professions that require this knowledge, but almost every one above the merely 
 mechanical. The professors of painting, statuary, and music, and those who admire their works , 
 readers of history, politics, poetry ; all who converse on subjects ever so little above the vulgar, 
 have so frequent occasion to pronounce these proper names, that whatever tends to render this 
 pronunciation easy must necessarily be acceptable to the public. 
 
 The proper names in Scripture have still a higher claim to our attention. That every thing con- 
 tained in that precious repository of divine truth should be rendered as easy as possible to the reader, 
 cannot be doubted ; and the very frequent occasions of pronouncing Scripture proper names, in a 
 country where reading the Scripture makes part of the religious worship, seem to demand somx 
 work on this subject more perfect than any we have hitherto seen. 
 
 I could have wished it had been undertaken by a person of more learning and leisure than 
 myself; but we often wait in vain, for works of this kind, from those learned bodies which ought to 
 produce them, and at last are obliged, for the best we can get, to the labors of some necessitous 
 individual. Being long engaged in the instruction of youth, 1 felt the want of a work of this kind, 
 and have supplied it in the best manner I am able. If I have been happy enough to be useful, or 
 only so far useful as to induce some abler hand to undertake the subject, I shall think my labor 
 amply rewarded. I shall still console myself with reflecting, that he who has produced a prior 
 work, however inferior to those that succeed it, is under a very di£ferent predicament from him who 
 produces an afler-work inferior to those that have gone before.

 TO THE SECOND EDITION 
 
 The favorable reception of the first edition of this work has induced me i* attempt to make it 
 ■till more worthy of the acceptance of the public, by the addition of several critical obsei vations, 
 and particularly by two Terminational Vocabularies, of Greek and Latin, and Scripture, Proper 
 Names. That so much labor should be bestowed upon an inverted arrangement of tfaeec words, 
 when they had already been given in their common alphabetical order, may be matter of v onder to 
 many persons, who will naturally inquire into the utility of such an arrangement. To these it may 
 be answered, that the words of all languages seem more related to each other by tbeir termination!

 guages, both curious and useful ; for, as their accent and quantity depend so much on their termi- 
 nation, such an arrangement appeared to give an easier and more comprehensive idea of their pro> 
 nunciation, than the common classification by their initial syllables. This end was so desirable, as 
 to induce me to spare no pains, however dry and disgusting, to promote it; and, if the method I 
 have taken has failed, my labor will not be entirely lost, if it convinces future prosodistB that it ii 
 not unworthy of their attention.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The pronunciation of the learned languages is much more easily acquired than that ol oar own. 
 Whatever might have been the variety of the different dialects among the Greeks, and the different 
 provinces of the Romans, their languages, now being dead, are generally pronounced according to 
 the respective analogies of the several languages of Europe, where those languages are cultivated, 
 without partaking of those anomalies to which the living languages are liable. 
 
 Whether one general uniform pronunciation of the ancient languages be an object of sufficient 
 importance to induce the learned to depart from the analogy of their own language, and to study 
 the ancient Latin and Greek pronunciation, as they do the etymology, syntax, and prosody of those 
 languages, is a question not very easy to be decided. The question becomes still more difficult, 
 when we consider the uncertainty we are in respecting the ancient pronunciation of the Greeks and 
 Romans, and how much the learned are divided among themselves about it.* Till these points 
 are settled, the English may well be allowed to follow their own pronunciation of Greek and Latin, 
 as well as other nations, even though it should be confessed, that it seems to depart more from what 
 we can gather of the ancient pronunciation, than either the Italian, French, or German. t For why 
 the English should pay a compliment to the learned languages, which is not done by any othei 
 nation in Europe, it is not easy to conceive ; and, as the colloquial communication of learned individ- 
 uals of different nations so seldom happens, and is an object of so small importance when it doe«

 t Monsieur Launcelot, the learned author of the Port 
 Royal Greek Grammar, in order to convey the sound of the 
 tong Greek vowel r/, tells us it is a sound between the « 
 And the a, and that Eustathius, who lived towards the 
 elose of the twelfth century, says that /?i), 0ri, is a sound 
 made in imitation of the bleating of a sheep ; and quotes 
 o this purpose this verse of an ancient writer called 
 Cratinus : 
 
 'O (5' liXiSiof Siantp TrpSfSaTOv, 0fjj |5iJ, Xiycov SaSii^eu 
 
 Is fatuus perinde ac ovis, bS, b§, dicens, incedit. 
 
 He, like a silly sheep, goes crying baa, 
 
 Caninius has remarked the same, Hellen. p. 96. "^Ion- 
 gum, cujus sonus in ovium balatu sentitur, ul Cratinus et 
 Varro tradiderunt." "The sound of theelong maybe per- 
 ceived in the bleating of sfjeep, as Cratinus and Varro have 
 banded down to ua." 
 
 Eustathius likewise remarks, upon the 49dth v. of Iliad I., 
 that the word BX6xp hanv b rfis KXe^piSpa^ iJxoff fniiriTiKoJs

 cundum veteres; et 0rj imitatur vocem ovium." " Blopa^ 
 according to the ancients, is a sound in imitation of the 
 Clepsydra, as baa is expressive of the voice of sheep." It 
 were to be wished that the sound of every Greek vowel 
 had been conveyed to us by as faithM a testimony as the 
 ^ra ; we should certainly have had a better idea of that 
 harmony for which the Greek language was so famous, and 
 in which respect Ciuintilian candidly yields it the prefer- 
 ence to the Latin. 
 
 Aristophanes has handed down to us the pronunciation 
 of the Greek diphthong av av, by making it expressive of 
 the barking of a dog. This pronunciation is exactly like 
 that preserved by nurses and children among us to this day 
 in bow wow. This is the sound of the same letters in the 
 Latin tongue j not only in proper names derived from 
 Greek, but in every other word where this diphthong oc- 
 curs. Most nations in Europe, perhaps all but the English, 
 pronounce audio and laudo as if written owdio and lowdo j 
 the diphthong sounding like ou in loud. Agreeably to this 
 rule, it is presumed that we formerly pronounced the apos- 
 tle Paul nearer the original than at present. In Henry 
 VIIl.'s time it was written St. Poule's, and sermons were 
 preached at Poule's Cross. The vulgar, generally the last 
 to alter, either for the better or worse, still have a jingling 
 proverb with this pronunciation, when they say, as old as 
 Poules. 
 
 The sound of the letter u is no less sincerely preserved 
 in Plautus, in Mensech. (p. 622, edit Lambin.) in making use 
 of it to imitate the cry of an owl : 
 " Men. Egon* dedi ? Pen. Tu, tu, istic, inquam. Vin» 
 
 afferri noctuam, 
 Q,uffl *Tu, Tu,' usque dicat tibi? nam nos jam nos defessi 
 Bumus." 
 
 "It appears here," says Mr. Forster, in his defence of the 
 Greek accents, (p. 199,) " that an owl's cry was tu, tu, to a 
 Roman ear, as it is too, too, to an English." Lambin, who 
 was a Frenchman, observes, on the passage, * Alludit ad 
 noctuEB vocem seu cantum, tu, tu, sen tou, tou.' " He here 
 alludes to the voice or noise of an owl." It m ny be further 
 observed, that the English have totally depared from thii 
 sound of the u in their own language, as weH as in theli 
 pronunciation of Latin.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Akppen, It is not much to be regretted, that, when they meet, they are scarcely intelligible to each 
 • tiler.* 
 
 But the English are accused not only of departing from the genuine sound of the Greek and 
 Latin vowels, but of violating the quantity of these languages more than the people of any othei 
 nation in Kurope. The author of the " Essay upon the Harmony of Language " gives us a detail ot 
 the particulars by which this accusation is proved ; and this is so true a picture of the English 
 pronunciation of Latin, that I shall quote it at length, as it may be of use to those who are obliged to 
 learn this language without the aid of a teacher. 
 
 " The falsification of the harmony by English scholars, in their pronunciation of Latin, with re 
 gard to Pssential points, arises from two causes only; first, from a total inattention to the length 
 of vowel sounds, making them long or short, merely as chance directs ; and, secondly, from sound- 
 ing double consonants as only one letter. The remedy of this last fault is obvious. With regard 
 to the first, we have already observed, that each of our vowels hath its general long sound, and its 
 geneial short sound, totally different. Thus the short sound of e lengthened is expressed by the 
 letter o, and the short sound of i lengthened is expressed by the letter e ; and, with all these anom* 
 alies usual in the application of vowel characters to the vowel sounds of our own language, we 
 proceed to the application of vowel sounds to the vowel characters of the Latin. Thus, in the first 
 lyllable ot sidus and nomen, which ought to be long, and of miser and onus, which ought to be 
 «hort, we equally use the common long sound of the vowels ; but, in the oblique cases, sideris, nam- 
 inis, miseri, OTteris, &c., we use quite another sound, and that a short one. These strange anoma- 
 lies are not common to us with our southern neighbors, the French, Spaniards, and Italians. 
 They pronounce »idus, according to our orthography, seedus, and, in the oblique cases, preserve the 
 same long sound ul the i. J\romen they pronounce as we do, and preserve, in the oblique cases, the 
 same long sound of the o. The Italians also, in their own language, pronounce doubled conso- 
 nants as distinctly as the two most discordant mutes of their alphabet. Whatever, therefore, they 
 may want of expressing the true harmony of the Latin language, they certainly avoid the most 
 glaring and absurd faults in our manner of pronouncing it. 
 
 " It is a matter of curiouity to observe with what regularity we use these solecisms in the pronun- 
 ciation of Latin. When Ji« penultimate is accented, its vowel, if followed but by a single conso 
 nant, is always long, as in Dr. Forster's examples. When the antepenultimate is accented, itJ 
 vowel is, without any regard to the requisite quantity, pronounced short, as in miTdbile, frigidm, 
 except the vowel of the penultimate be followed by a vowel ; and then the vowel of the antepenul- 
 timate is, with as little regard to true quantity, pronounced long, as in msTteo, redeat, odium, impe- 
 rium. Quantity is, however, vitiated to make i short, even in this case, as in oblivio, vinea, vtrium 
 The only difference we make in pronunciation between vinea and venia is, that to the vowel of the 
 first syllable of the former, which ought to be long, we give a short sound ; to that of the latter, 
 which ought to be short, we give the same sound, but lengthened. V, accented, is always, before 
 a single consonant, pronounced long, as in humerus, fugiens. Before two consonants no vowel 
 sound is ever made long, except that of the diphthong au; so that, whenever a doubled consonant 
 occurs, the preceding syllable is short.t Unaccented vowels we treat with no more ceremony in 
 Latin than in our own language." — Essay upon the Harmony of Language, p. 224. Printed for 
 Robson, 1774. [By William Mitford.] 
 
 This, it must be owned, is a very just state of the case ; but, though the Latin quantity is thus 
 violated, it is not, as this writer observes in the first part of the quotation, merely as chance directs, 
 but, as he afterwards observes, regularly, and, he might Have added, according to the analogy oJ 
 English pronunciation, which, it may be observed, has a genius of its own, and which, if not so 
 well adapted to the pronunciation of Greek and Latin as some other modern languages, has as fixed 
 and settled rules for pronouncing them as any other. 
 
 The learned and ingenious author next proceeds to show the advantages of pronouncing our 
 vowels so as to express the Latin quantity. "We have reason to suppose," says he, "that out 
 usual accentuation of Latin, however it may want of many elegances in the pronunciation of the 
 Augustan age, is yet sufiiciently just to give, with tolerable accuracy, that part of the general har- 
 
 * " Erasmus se adfuisse olim commemorat, cum die quo- 
 dam solenni complures principum legati ad Maximilianum 
 Imperatorem salutandi caus^ advenissent ; aingulosque, Gal- 
 ium, Germanum, Danum, Scotum, &c. orationem Latinam 
 ita barbar6 ac vast6 pronunciisse, ut Italis quibusdam nihil 
 nisi risum moverent, qui eos non Latin^ sed sua quemque 
 linfiui, locutos jur^ssent." — MUdUton, De Lot. LiL Pronun. 
 
 The lovt of the marvellous prevails over truth ; and I 
 question if the greatest diversity in the pronunciation of 
 
 Latin exceeds that of English at the capital and in some of 
 the counties of Scotland j and yet the inhabitants of both 
 have no great difficulty in understanding each other. 
 
 t This corruption of the true quantity is not, however, 
 peculiar to the English ; for Beza complains in his country : 
 '* Hinc enim fit ut in GkbcSl oratione vel nullum, vel prorfflll 
 corruptum numerum intelligas, dum multffi breves produ 
 cuntur, et contri plurimte longs corripiuntur." — Bat *

 meny of the language, of which accent is the efficient. We have also pretty full information, from 
 tlie poets, what syllables ought to have a long, and what a short quantity. To preserve, then, in 
 our pronunciation, the true harmony of the language, we have only to take care to give the vowels 
 a long sound or a short sound, as the quantity may require, and, when doubled consonants occur, 
 to pronounce each distinctly." Ibid. p. 228.* 
 
 In answer to this plea for edteration, it may be observed, that, if this mode of pronouncing Laitin 
 be that of foreign nations, and were really so superior to our own, we certainly must perceive it in 
 the pronunciation of foreigners, when we visit them, or they us. But I think I may appeal to the 
 experience of every one who has had an opportunity of making the experiment, that, so far from 
 the superiority on the side of the foreign pronunciation, it seems much inferior to our own. I am 
 aware of the power of habit, and of its being able, on many occasions., to make the worse appear tk» 
 better reason; but, if the harmony of the Latin language depended so much on a preservation of 
 the quantity as many pretend, this harmony would surely overcome the bias we have to our own 
 pronunciation, especially if our own were really so destructive of harmony as it is said to be. Till, 
 therefore, we have a more accurate idea of the nature of quantity, and of that beauty and harmony 
 of which it is said to be the efficient in the pronunciation of Latin, we ought to preserve a pronun- 
 ciation which has naturally sprung up in our own soil, and is congenial to our native language. 
 Besides, an alteration of this kind would be attended with so much dispute and uncertainty, as must 
 mak"? it highly impolitic to attempt it. 
 
 The analogy, then, of our own language being the rule for pronouncing the learned languages, 
 we shall have little occasion for any other directions for the pronunciation of the Greek and Latin 
 proper names, than such as are given for the pronunciation of English words. The general rules 
 are followed almost without exception. The first and most obvious powers of the letters are 
 adopted, and there is scarcely any difficulty but in the position of the accent ; and this depends so 
 much on the quantity of the vowels, that we need only inspect a dictionary to find the quantity of 
 the penultimate vowel, and this determines the accent of all the Latin words; and, it may be added, 
 of almost all Greek words likewise. t Now, in our pronunciation of Latin words, whatever be the 
 quantity of the first syllable in a word of two syllables, we always place the accent on it ; but in 
 words of more syllables, if the penultimate be long, we place the accent on that; and if short, we 
 accent the antepenultimate. 
 
 The rules of the Latin Accentuation are comprised, in a clear and concise manner, by Sanctiui 
 within four hexameters : 
 
 " Accentum in ae ipsa monosyllaba dictio ponit. 
 Ezacuit sedem dissyllabon omne priorem. 
 Ex tribus, extoUit pnmam penultima curtai 
 ExtolUt se ipsam quando est penultima longa," 
 
 These rules . have endeavored to express in English verse : 
 
 Each monosyllable has stress of course i 
 Worda of two syllables the first enforce i 
 A syllable that's long, and last but one, 
 Must have the accent upon that or none; 
 Bat, if this syllable be short, the stresa 
 Must on the last but two its force express. 
 
 rhe only difference that seems to obtain between the pronunciation of the Greek and Latin lan 
 ffuages is, that, in the Latin, ti and si, preceded by an accent, and followed by another vowel form- 
 ng an improper diphthong, are pronounced, as in English, like sh or zh ; as, natio, nation ; persuasio, 
 versuasion, &c.; and that, in the Greek, the same letters retain their pure sound, as ipiXatnia-, 
 iyrmaia, niio^iriov, x. r. i.t This difference, however, with very few exceptions, does not extend 
 
 • By what this learned author has observed of our 
 vicious pronunciation of the vowels, by the long and short 
 Bound of them, and from the instances he has given, he 
 must mean that length and shortness which arise from 
 extending and contracting them, independently of the ob- 
 struction wliich two consonants are supposed to occasion 
 In forming the long quantity. Thus we are to pronounce 
 nanus as if written and divided into ma:i-nus ; and f annus 
 as if written pay-nus, or as we always hear the word pams, 
 (bread ;) for in this sound of pannus there seems to be no 
 Decessity for pronouncing the two consonants distinctly, or 
 leparately, which he seems to mean by distinctly, because 
 (he quantity is shown by the long sound of the vowel ; but 
 «• b} (list'.nctly he means separately, — that is, as if what 
 
 is called in French the sch^a, or mute e, were to follow the 
 first consonant, — this could not be done without adding a 
 syllable to the word ; and the word panntis would in that 
 case certainly have three syllables, as if written pan^eh nus.

 tity^ sect. 24. 
 
 I Thpt is, in the general pronunciation of Greek ; for, 
 let the written accent be placed where it will, the quantnta^ 
 tive accent, as it may be called, follows the analogy of the 
 Latin. 
 
 X " The Greek language," says the learned critic, •' was 
 happy in not being understood by the Goths, who would 
 as certainly have corrupted the t in alria, Cnioti, &c., in'^ 
 atVia, Qjoiov, &c., as they did in the Latin motio and doctt

 to proper names, which, coining to us through, and being mingled with, the Latin, fall into Ite 
 general rule. In the same manner, though in Greek it was an established maxim, that, if the asl 
 syllable were long, the accent could scarcely be higher than the penultimate, yet, in our pronun 
 ciation of Greek, and particularly of proper names, the Latin analogy of the accent is adopted ; 
 and, though the last syllable is long in Demosthenes, Aristophanes, Theramenes, and Deiphobe, yet, aa 
 the penultimate is short, the accent is placed on the antepenultimate, exactly as if they were Latin.T 
 
 As these languages have been long dead, they admit of no new varieties of accent, like the living 
 languages. The common accentuation of Greek and Latin may be seen in Lexicons and Graduses ; 
 and where the ancients indulged a variety, and the moderns are divided in their opinions about the 
 most classical accentuation of words, it would be highly improper, in a work intended for general 
 use, to enter into the thorny disputes of the learned j and it may be truly said, in the rhyming adage, 
 
 "When doctors disagree, 
 Disciples then are free." 
 
 This, however, has not been entirely neglected. "Where there has been any considerable diver- 
 sity of accentuation among our prosodists, I have consulted the best authorities, and have some- 
 times ventured to decide ; though, as Labbe says, " Sed his de rebus, ut aliis multis, malo doctiorum 
 iudicium expectare, quam meam in medium proferre sententiam.'* 
 
 But the most important object of the present work is settling the English quantity, (see Rules 20, 
 21, 22,) with which we pronounce Greek and Latin proper names, and the sounds of some of the 
 consonants. These are points in a state of great uncertainty, and are to be settled, not so much 
 by a deep knowledge of the dead languages, as by a thorough acquaintance with the analogies and 
 general usage of our own tongue. These must, in the nature of things, enter largely into the pro 
 nunciation of a dead language ; and it is from an attention to these, that the author hopes he baa 
 given to the public a work not entirely unworthy of their acceptance. 
 
 [95" There is unquestionably much sound sense and solid argument in the remarks contained in our author's Introduction , 
 and the affectation with which the Greek and Latin languages are sometimes pronounced is, to say the least, extremely 
 ridiculous. At the same time, it would not be amiss to adopt some uniform mode of pronunciation, by which the true 
 quantity of the words, and some portion, at least, of their ancient character, might be retained. The chief defect in the 
 English pronunciation consists in the false analogy of the vowel sounds, and the corrupt inflection of the consonants 
 c, gf a, t, before some of the vowels. This cannot, of course, be remedied, without departing, in some slight degree, 
 from the general rules of our own language ; but, if no sounds were introduced but those which are familiar to an English 
 ear, though not perfectly in accordance with the usage of the English tongue, the trilling appearance of harshness or 
 formality, which a closer approximation to the correct pronunciation might possess, would gradually wear away, and be 
 ampiy compensated by its greater accuracy. Now, in order to attain this end, it will only be necessary to affix to each 
 vowel its distinctive long and short quantity, and to confine the above-named consonants invariably to the same sound. 
 The precise rules for pronouncing these letters will be given in their proper places ; without interfering, however, with 
 those of Mr. Walker, which, with the exception alluded to, are clear, correct, and explicit, and, for those who prefer to 
 adhere to the English pronunciation, the best, without any exception, that can be adopted. — Trollope.] 
 
 into moshio and dosheo."* This, however, may be ques- 
 tioned J for if, in Latin words, this impure sound of t takes 
 place only in those words where the accent is on the pre- 
 ceding vowel, as in natioj/ado, &c., but not when the ac- 
 cent follows the (, and is on the following vowel, as in 
 satietxts, societas, &c., why should we suppose any other 
 mode of pronunciation would have been adopted by the 
 Goths in their pronouncing the Greek? Now, no rule of 
 pronunciation is more uniform, in the Greek language, than 
 that which places an acute on the iota at the end of words, 
 when this letter is succeeded by a long vowel ; and con- 
 sequently, if the accent be preserved upon the proper letter, 
 it is impossible the preceding ( and s should go into the 
 sound of sft. Why, therefore, may we not suppose that the 
 very frequent accentuation of the penultimate i before a 
 final vowel preserved the preceding r from going into the 
 sound of sA, as it was a difference of accentuation that oc- 
 casioned this impure sound of t in the Latin language ? 
 For though i, at the end of words, when followed by a 
 long vowel, or a vowel once long and afterwards contracted, 
 had always the accent on it in Greek, in Latin the accent 
 was always on the preceding syllable in words of this ter- 
 mination ; and hence seems to have arisen the corruption 
 of t in the Gothic pronunciation of the Latin language. 
 
 It is highly probable, that, in Lucian's time, the Greek r, 
 when followed by i and another vowel, had not assumed 
 the sound of o-; for the sigma would not have failed to 
 accuse him of a usurpation of her powers, as he had done 
 jf her character; and, if we have preserved the r pure in 
 ^is situation when we pronounce Greek, it is, perhaps, 
 atber to be placed to the preserving power of the accented 
 
 in so great a number of words, than any adherence to

 the ancient rules of pronunciation, which invariably af- 
 firm that the consonants had but one sound ; unless we 
 except the y before y^ k, x^ f j as ayychos, ayKVpa, ayx^(^ra^ 
 K. T, A., where the y is sounded like v. But this, says Henry 
 Stephens, is an error of the copyists, who have a little ex- 
 tended the bottom of the y, and made a y of it ; for, says 
 he, it is ridiculous to suppose that v was changed into y^ and 
 at the same time that y should be pronounced like v. On 
 the contrary, Scaliger saySj that where we find a v before 
 these letters, as duKvpa^ it is an error of the copyists, who 
 imagined they better expressed the pronunciation by this 
 letter, which, as Vossius observes, should seem to demand 
 something particular and uncommon. 
 
 It is reported of Scaliger, that, when he was accosted by 
 a Scotchman in Latin, he begged his pardon for not under- 
 standing him, as he had never learned the Scotch language. 
 If this were the case with the pronunciation of a Scotch- 
 man, which is so near that of the continent, what would 
 he have said to the Latin pronunciation of an Englishman ' 
 I take it, however, that this diversity is greatly exaggerated 
 
 t This, however, was contrary to the general practice ot 
 the Romans; for victorinus,in his Grammar, says, " OnBca 
 nominaj si iisdem Uteris proferuntuvj (Latin6 versa,) Ormcos 
 accentus habebunt : nam cum dicimus Thijas^ JSTais^ acutum 
 habebit posterior accentum ; et cum Themistio, Calypso, 
 Tkeanoj ultimam circumflecti videbimus, quod utrunique 
 Latinus sermo non patitur, nisiadmodum raro." "If Greek 
 nouns turned into Latin are pronounced with the same let- 
 ters, they have the Greek accent ; for, when we say Tliyasy 
 ^ais, the latter syllable has the acute accent ; and wher W6 
 pronounce Themistio, Calypso, Theano, we see the last r'lla- 
 ble is circumfiexed ; neither of which is ever seen in L»tis 
 words, or very rarely." — Servius. Forster. R^ly, p. 31

RULES 
 
 FOR PRONOUNCING THE VOWELS OP 
 
 GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES 
 
 1. Etert Towel with the accent on it, at the end 
 (f a syllable, is pronounced, as in English, with its 
 first long, open sound. Thus Ca'to* Fhilome'la, 
 Ori'on, Pho'cion, Lu'cifer, &c., have the accented 
 Towels sounded exactly as in the English words pa'per, 
 ne'fre, spi'der, no'ble, tu'tor, &c. 
 
 2. Every accented vowel, not ending a syllable, but 
 ■bllowed by a consonant, has the short sound, as in 
 English. Thus Mim'Uus, Pen'theus, Pin'darus, Col'- 
 tha, Cur'tius, &c., have the short sound of the ac- 
 cented vowels, as in man'ner, plen'ty, prin'ter, coVlar, 
 tur'foB, &c. 
 
 3. Every final t, though unaccented, has the long, 
 open sound. Thus the final i, forming the genitive 
 case, as in magis'tri, or the pliural number, as in De'di, 
 has the long, open sound, as in vi'al ; and this sound 
 we give to this vowel, in this situation, because the 
 Latin t final, in genitives, plurals, and preterperfect 
 tenses of verbs, is always long; and consequently, 
 where the accented i is followed by i final, both are 
 pronounced with the long diphthongal i, like the noun 
 eye, as Achi'vi.i 
 
 4. Every unaccented t, ending a syllable not final, as 
 that in the second of Alcibiades, the Hemici, &c., is 
 pronounced like e, J as if written Aleebiades, the Her- 
 ned, &.C. So the last syllable but one of the Pabii, 
 the Horatii, the Cvriatii, &c., is pronounced as if 
 written Fa-be-i, Ho-ra-she-i, Cu-re-a-she-i ; 5 and there- 
 fore, if the unaccented i, and the diphthong a, con- 
 
 • This pronunciation of Caio, Plato, Cleopatra, Sec, has 
 been but latelv adopted. Ctuin, and all the old dramatic 
 school, used to pronounce the a^ in these and similar words, 
 ike the a in father. Mr. Gamck, with great good sense, 
 u well as good taste, brought in the present pronunciation, 
 •nd the propriety of it has made it now universal. 
 
 T This is the true analogical pronunciation of this letter 
 when ending an accented syllable ; but a most disgraceful 
 affectation of foreign pronunciation has exchanged this ftill 
 diphthongal sound for the meagre, squeezed sound of the 
 French and Italian t, not only in almost every word derived 
 from those languages, but in many which are purely Latin ; 
 ■a, Faustina, Mexsalina, &c. Nay, words from the Saxon 
 have been equally perverted, and we hear the i in Elfrida, 
 Edaina, &c., turned into Eifireeda, Edmeena, &c. It is true 
 this is the sound the Romans gave to their t ; [This is by no 
 means certain. — Tkollope.1 but the speakers here alluded 
 10 are perfectly innocent of this, and do not pronounce it in 
 this manner for its antiquity, but its novelty.

 dude a word, they are both pronounced like e,| • 
 Harpyiee, Har-py'e-e. 
 
 5. The diphthongs a and ee, ending a syllable n il 
 the accent on it, are pronounced exactly like the long 
 English e, as Ceesar, CEta, &c., as if written Cee'mr^ 
 E'ta, &c. ; and like the short e, when followed by i 
 consonant in the same syllable, as Dadalus, CEdipia, 
 &c.,1f pronounced as if written Deddalus, Eddipus, 
 &c. The vowels ei are generally pronounced lik« 
 long I. ** For the vowels eu, in final syllables, see tha 
 word Idomeneos ; and for the ou in the same syllables, 
 see the word Antinods, and similar words, in the Ter^ 
 minational Vocabulary. 
 
 6. Y is exactly under the same predicament as i. I 
 is long when ending an accented syllable, as Cy'rus i 
 or when ending an unaccented syllable, if final, as 
 ■/H'gy, -^'py, &c. ; short when joined to a consonant 
 in the same syllable, as Lyc'idaa ; and sometimes long 
 and sometimes short when ending an initial syllabla 
 not under the accent, as Ly-cur'gus, pronounced with 
 the first syllable like lie, a falsehood ; and Lysimaelaii, 
 with the first syllable like the first of legion, or near- 
 ly as if divided into Lys4m'a-chus, &c. 
 
 7. A, ending an unaccented syllable, has the same 
 obscure sound as in the same situation in English 
 words; but it is a sound bordering on the Italian a, 
 or the a in fa-ther, as Dia'na, where the difference be 
 tween the accented and unaccented a is palpable. 
 
 8. E final, either with or without the preceding 
 
 IT [This is certainly incorrect Diphthongs are pronoun ei 
 long wherever they occur ; as, Deedalus, Eedipus, &c. The 
 Latins doubtlessly distinguished between the Round of is and 
 IB, as the Greeks between the correspond ng diphthongs at 
 and oi; but this difference cannot be readily .iccommodated 
 to the English pronunciation. — Trollope.] 
 
 [It may be said, that, in Greek and Latin poetry, diph 
 thongs are always regarded as long ; but it surely cannot bo 
 said, with trutti, tliat in English they are always " pro- 
 nounced long, wherever they occur.'* Various other ortho- 
 epists adhere to the rule which Walker adopts in relation 
 to the pronunciation of these diphthongs ; and general 
 usage, among good speakers, is in accordance with it. 
 And this, not only in proper names : the diphthong in the 
 word ossaftEtida, for example, is pronounced like short o, 
 both by the ortboepists and by general usage. — Editoh.] 
 
 ** See Elegeia, Hygeia, &c., m the Terminational Vocab- 
 ulary of Greek and Latin Proper Names. [The statement of 
 Walker, that " the vowels ei are generally pronounced like 
 * long," is not in accordance with bis remarks in his notes 
 relating to the terminations eta and eiua, in the Termination 
 al Vocabulary. In these notes, be decides in favor of placing 
 the accent on the e, and permitting the i, as v consonant, II

 consonant, always forms a distinct syllable ; as, Penel- 
 ope, Hippocrene, Evoe, Amplatrite, &c. When any 
 (ireek or Latin word is Anglicized into this termina- 
 tion, by cutting off a syllable of the original, it be- 
 comes then an English word, and is pronounced ac- 
 tording to our own analogy. Thus Addalius, altered 
 '.o Acidale, has the final e sunk, and is a word of three 
 lyllables only; Proserpine, from Proserpina^ under- 
 goes the same alteration. Thebes and AOuns, derived 
 from the Greek 0i;|}oi and 'Aiijvm, and the Latin 
 Theba and Athena, are perfectly Anglicized ; the former 
 into a monosyllable, and the latter mto a dissyllable ; and 
 the Greek Kqi'jTri and the Latin Creta have both sunk 
 into the English monosyllable Crete. Hecate, likewise 
 pronounced in three syllables when Latin, and in the 
 same number in the Greek word 'Exirtj, in English is 
 universally contracted into two, by sinking the final 
 e. Shakspeare seems to have begun, as he has now 
 confirmed, this pronunciation, by so adapting the word 
 in " Macbeth " : 
 
 ' Why, how now, Hecat'? you look angerly." — jJet /F. 
 Perhaps this was no more than a poetical license to 
 him; but the actors have adopted it in the songs in 
 this tragedy : 
 
 " ff»<ate, ffe-eate, come away." 
 
 And the play-going world, who form no small portion 
 of what is called the better sort of people, have fol- 
 lowed the actors in this word, and the rest of the world 
 have followed them. 
 
 The Roman magistrate, named tedilis, is Anglicized 
 by pronouncing it in two syllables, te'dile. The capi- 
 tal of Sicily, Syracusa, of four syllables, is made three 
 In the English Syr'acuse; and the city of Tyrus, of 
 two syllables, is reduced to a monosyllable in the 
 Knglish Tyre.

 • That this general rule should be violated by smatterers 
 t.tlf the learned languages, in such words aa gymnastic, het- 
 eroffeneous, &c., is not to be wondered at ; but that men of 
 real learning, who do not want to show themselves off to 
 r the vulgar by such innuendoes of their erudition, should give 
 I in to this irregularity, is really surprising. We laugh at the 
 ; pedantry of the age of James I., where there is scarcely a 
 page in any English book that is not sprinkled with twenty 
 Greek and Latin quotations, and yet do not see the similar 
 pedantry of interlarding our pronunciation with Greek and 
 Latin sounds, which may be affirmed to be a greater per- 
 version of our language than the former. In the one case, 
 Ihe introduction of Greek and Latin quotations does not in- 
 terfere with the English phraseology ; but, in the other, the 
 pronunciation is disturbed, and a motley jargon of sounds 
 introduced, as inconsistent with true taste as it is with 
 neatness and uniformity. 
 
 fThis censure is more severe than just. It is certain 
 that these consonants were uniformly pronounced hard, by 
 the Latins, before all the vowels indilferentty ; c like k, and 
 f like the English ^ in gun. This is proved* with respect to 
 ' t by the Greek writers, who always spell J^tin names in 
 which it occurs with ft; as Kix^fji^'V, X-irri..i>, far Cierro, 
 Seipio. On the other hand, the Romans express the Greek 
 k by c ,■ as Cimon for Kiijo'v. Hence Quintilian observes, 
 C eat litera, guts ad omnes vocales vim suam perferau The 
 Dard sound of g is also apparent from words derived from 
 She Greek, where y is always represt^nted by g; and that 
 liio analogy of sound is strictly preserved, ia especially nian- 
 Ifest in such words as an^clMS from the Greek fnveAos. In 
 Uiese words, the first y was always pronounced like v ; and. 
 
 preceded by the accent, in Latin words, Ej in Eng'jaa 
 change into sh and zh; as, 7'atian, Stmtus, PorUus 
 Portia, Sosius, Caduceus, Accius, Helvetii, MasiA 
 Uesiod, &c., pronounced Tashean, Staahena, Poftlxus 
 Porshea, Sosheua, Cadusheus, Aksheus, Helveshei, Me 
 zhea, Hezheod, &.c. But when the accent is on the 
 first of the diphthongal vowels, the preceding consonan 
 does not go into sh, but preserves its sound pure ; as 
 MUtiades, Antiates, &c. 
 
 11. T, S, and C, in proper names ending in tia, Ha, 
 cyon, and sion, preceded by the accent, are changed 
 into sh and zh. Thus Phocion, Sicyon, and Cercyon. 
 are pronounced exactly in our own analogy, as if 
 written Phosheon, Sisheon, and Sersheon; Artemisia 
 and Aspasia sound as if written Artemizhea and Aspa- 
 zhea; Galatia, Aratia, Alotia, and Batia, as if written 
 Galashea, Araahea, Aloshea, and Bashea; and, if ^{ia 
 the town in Campania, is not so pronounced, it is to 
 distinguish it from Asia, the eastern region of the 
 world. But the termination iion (of which there are 
 not even twenty examples in proper names throughout 
 the whole Greek and Latin languages) seems to pre 
 serve the t from going into sh, as the last renmant of 
 a learned pronunciation, and to avoid, as much as pos- 
 sible, assimilating with so vulgar an English termina 
 tion. Thus, though .^sto», iosion, Dionysion, change 
 the s into z, as if written yHzimi, laeion, Dionyzion, 
 the z does not become zh; but Philistion, Gration, 
 Eurytion, Androtion, Uippotion, Iphition, Omytion, 
 Metion, Polytion, Stration, Sotion, Pallantion, ^tion, 
 Harpocration, and Amphictyon, preserve the t m its 
 true sound. Hephastion, however, from the frequency 
 of appearing with Alexander, has deserted the small 
 class of his Greek companions, and joined the English 
 multitude, by rhyming with question; and Tatian and 
 ITieodotion seem perfectly Anglicized. With very, 
 very few exceptions, therefore, it may be concluded that 
 Greek and Latin proper names are pronounced alike, 
 and that both of them follow the analogy of English 
 pronunciation. 
 
 12. Ch. These letters, before a vowel, are always 
 pronounced like k; as, Chabrias, Colchis, &e. ; but, 
 when they come before a mute consonant, at the be- 
 ^nning of a word, as in Chthonia, they are mute, and 
 the word is pronounced as if written Thonia. Words 
 
 as this sound is preserved in the Latin by a change of let- 
 ter, it follows that the g, which represents the second y, 
 agrees with it in sound also. Since, therefore, the true pro- 
 nunciation of these letters, e and g, corresponds with their 
 English pronunciation before certain vowels, there is no 
 great violence done to the harmony of language by adopt- 
 ing it, in Latin proper names, before all. — Tbollope.] 
 
 t [The uniform and single sound of c has been noted in 
 the note on the preceding rule ; that of s and ( were doubt 
 less also single and uniform. That s had but one sound, 
 like that of the English in sun, is evident from the Greek 
 usage of the letter, and from the silence of all the old gram 
 marians as to any variety in its pronunciation, —a remark 
 which, by the way, will apply to all the consonants gener- 
 ally. With reapect to t, the only difficulty regards the syl- 
 lable ti, when followed by a vowel, aa in the examples 
 given in the rule. There is no doubt that ti was always 
 pronounced alike by the Latins, whatever was the place o< 
 the accent ; so that it was the same in MUtiades and Tatian, 
 except that in the former it was long, and in the latter short, 
 and therefore uttered with greater rapidity. This is evi 
 dent from words common both to the Greeks and Romans, 
 with the former of whom the pronunciation of n never va- 
 ries. In Latin names, also, the Greeks always retain the 
 same letters, and vice versi. Thus we have 'Virion, Titius; 
 and ntfr(Tivt}i'Tiiiv Stac, Pessinunfiam Dsam, Herod, i. 11 
 It does not appear, indeed, that any sound like sh or ih was 
 known to the Romans ; nor is it likely that they pronounced 
 the same letter differently in declining the same word ; as, 
 nom. pi. artes, gen. arshium, dat. artibus, &c. These obsel 
 vations are equally applicable to the next rule — T»o .ton

 geginning with ache, as Sekedita, Srheria, &c., are 
 Ifronounced as if written Skediiis, Skcruif &c. ; and c 
 •efore n, in the Latin prienomen Cneus, or Ctueiu, is 
 mute) BO 1 Cfwpus^ Cjiosstts, &c., and before t in 
 Cteatta, »'A g before » in Gntdlus,— pronounced 
 Nopus, Nossiu, Teatia, and Nidus." 
 
 J3. At the beginning of Greek words, we frequently 
 find the uncombinable consonants mn, tm, ^c. , as, 
 Mnemosyne, Mnesidamus, Mneus, Mnesteus, Tmoha, 
 &c. These are to be pronounced with the first conso- 
 nant mute, as if written Nemosyne, Nesidamvs, Neus, 
 Nesteus, Mains, &c., in the same manner as we pro- 
 nounce the words Bdellium, Pneumatic, Gnomon, 
 Mnemonics, &c., without the initial consonant. The 
 same may be observed of tlie c hard like k, when it 
 comes before t, as Ctesiphon, Ctedppas, &c. Some 
 of these words we see sometimes written with an e or 
 t alter the first consonant, as Menesteus, Timolus, &c., 
 and then the initial consonant is pronounced. 
 
 14. Ph, followed by a consonant, is mute ; as, Phthia, 
 PlUhiotis, pronounced Thia, Thiotis, in the same man- 
 ner as the naturalized Greek word Phthisic, pro- 
 nounced Tisic. 
 
 15. Pa: — p is mute also in this combination, as in 
 Psyche, Psammetichus, &.C., pronounced Syke, Sam- 
 meticus, &c. 
 
 16. Pt : — p is mute in words beginning with these 
 letters, when followed by a vowel; as, Ptolemy, Pteri- 
 las, &c., pronounced Tolemy, Terilas, &c. ; but, when 
 followed by I, the t is heard, as in Tleptolemus; for, 
 though we have no words of our own with these initial 
 consonants, we have many words that end with them, 
 tnd they are certainly pronounced. The same may be 
 observed of the z in ZmUaces. 
 
 17. The letters », x, and 2, 'require but little obser- 
 vation, being generally pronounced as in pure English 
 words. It may, however, be remarked, that », at the 
 end of words, preceded by any of the vowels but e, 
 has ita pure hissing sound 5 as, mas, dis, os, mus, &.C. ; + 
 but, when e precedes, it goes into the sound of z ; as, 
 pes, Tliersites, vales, &.c. It may also be observed, 
 that, when it ends a word preceded by r or n, it has the 
 sound of X. Thus the letter s, in mens. Mars, mors, 
 &c., has the same sound as in the English words hens, 
 stars, wars, &o. X, when beginning a word or sylla- 
 ble, is pronounced like 2 ; as, Xerxes, Xenophon, &c., 
 ire pronounced Zerkzss, Zenophon, &c. Z is uni- 
 formly pronounced as m English words. Thus the z 
 in ^6710 and Zeugma is pronounced as we hear it in 
 seal, zone, &c.

 Greek and Latin Proper Jfames. 
 8. It may at first be observed, that, in words of two 
 ■yllables, with but one consonant in the middle, what- 
 
 • [These lettera are not absolutely mute, being accompa- 
 nied with a small guttural tone, sufficient to indicate their 
 effect upon the pronunciation. So in the next rule, the 
 remark at the end of which proves that the guttural sound 
 was so as to have nearly the same effect as the insertion of 
 t vowel. Rules 14, 15, 16, are subject to the same remark. 
 The word TleptoUmua, in Rule 16, can hardly be considered 
 of the same class. — Trollope.] 
 
 t [Not only so, but in all cases, as tiefore remarked ; 
 neither with e, r, or n preceding, is s necessarily pronounced 
 like I. — TaoLLopE.] 
 
 t The only word occurring to me, at present, where this 
 rule is not observed, is carton, a rule, which is always pro- 
 nounced like the word cannon, a piece of ordnance. 
 
 [Considerable difference, however, was made by the 
 Romans between the long and short vowels, by pronouncing 
 Ihs latter more rapidly than the former Probably a kind 
 
 ever be the quantity of the vowel in the first syllabls 
 in Greek or Latin, we always make it long in English 
 Thus Crates, the philosopher, and crates, a hurdle 
 decus, honor, and dedo, to give ; ova, to triumph, and 
 ovum, an egg } Numa, the legislator, and Numen, the 
 divinity, have the first vowel always sounded equally 
 long by an English speaker, although, in Latin, the 
 first vowel in the first word of each of these pairs ii 
 short. X 
 
 19. On the contraiy, words of three syllables, with 
 the accent on the first, and with hut one co.-isonant 
 after the first syllable, have that syllable pronounced 
 short, let the Greek or Latin quantity be what it will. 
 Thus regvhis and remora, mimicus and miruum, are 
 heard with the first vowel short in English pronun- 
 ciation, though the first word of each pair has its firs' 
 syllable long in Latin; and the u, in fumigo anc 
 Jugito, is pronounced long in both words, though in 
 Latin the last u is short. This rule is never broken 
 but when the first syllable is followed by e or t, fol 
 lowed by another vowel ; in this case, the vowel in the 
 first syllable is long, except that vowel be t. Thus 
 lamia, genius, Libya, doceo, cmpio, have the accent on 
 the first syllable, and this syllable is pronounced long 
 in every word but Libya, though in the original it is 
 equally short in all. 
 
 20. It must have frequently occurred to those wno 
 instruct youth, that, though the quantity of the ac- 
 cented syllable of long proper names has been easily 
 conveyed, yet that the quantity of the preceding un 
 accented syllables has occasioned some embarrassment 
 An appeal to the laws of our own language would soon 
 have removed the perplexity, and enabled us to pro- 
 nounce the initial unaccented syllables with as much 
 decision as the others. Thus every accented antepe- 
 nultimate vowel but «, even when followed by one 
 consonant only, is, in our pronunciation of Latin, as 
 well as in English, short. Thus fibula, separo, diligo, 
 7U)bilis, cucumia, have the first vowels pronounced as 
 in the English words capital, celebrate, Hmony, solitude, 
 luddenl, in direct opposition to the Latin quantity, 
 which makes every antepenultimate vowel, in all these 
 words but the last, long ; and this toe pronounce long, 
 though short in Latin. But, if a semi-consonant diph> 
 thong succeed, then every such vowel is long but i 
 in our pronunciation of both languages ; and Euganeus, 
 Etigenia, JUiue, folium, dubia, have the vowel in the 
 antepenultimate syllable pronounced exactly as in the 
 English words satiate, menial, deliriotw, notorious, pe- 
 nurious; though they are all short in Latin but the i, 
 which we pronounce short, though in the Latin it ia long, 
 
 21. The same rule of quantity takes plac»> 'n thoso 
 syllables which have the secondary accent; for, a« 
 we pronounce lamentation, demonstration, diminution, 
 domination, lucubration, with every vowel in the hrst 
 syllable short but «, so we pronounce the same vowels 
 
 of double emphasis was placed upon the lonf vowels, whicti 
 the English pronunciation does not recognize We m.iks 
 no difference, for instance, in the sound of the verb mortrr, 
 whether it signifies to deUnj, or to be foolish. In th.j first 
 signification it is short, in the latter long; and th:»t th« 
 Romans marked this difference in their pronunciation, is 
 evident from the sarcasm of Nero, pointed against his pred- 
 ecessor Claudius, Suet. Ner. 3{ : Mnrari cum inter kovdnns 
 desiisse^ producta si/Uab^ prtTnA. The anomaly would be re- 
 moved by regularly pronouncing the long vowels as in the 
 English words tame, scene, wine, hone, tune, and the shor* 
 ones as in can, send, win, bond, tun, added to the single sound 
 of the consonant already described. The application of this 
 rule to the examples produced in the following sections, 11 
 the quantity of the syllribles be duly attended to, will suf- 
 ficiently prove the advantages arising from this method '•! 
 pronunciation. — Troi lope.'j 
 
B52 RULES FOR PRONOUNCING GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES. 
 
 In the same manner in ^<amentaiio, demonstratiOf dimi- 
 nuiio, dommatio, and lucubratio ; but, if a semi-conso- 
 Dant diphtliong succeed the secondary accent, as in 
 Arvyeiatux, Heliodoms, GaUnianus, Herodumwi, and 
 Voludanva, eveiy vowel preceding the diphthong is 
 long but i, just as we should pronounce these vowels 
 in the English words amiability, mediatorial, propitia- 
 (ion, excoriation, centuriator, &c. 
 
 22. But, to reduce these rules into a smaller compass, 
 that they may be more easily comprehended and re- 
 membered, it may be observed, that, as we always 
 shorten every antepenultimate vowel with the primary 
 accent but u, unless followed by a semi-consonant 
 diphthong, though this antepenultimate vowel is often 
 long in Greek and Latin, as jEschyha, ^Eschincs, &c., 
 and the antepenultimate i, even though it be followed 
 by such a diphthong, as Eleusinia, Ocrisia, &c., so we 
 •horten the first syllable of ^sculapius, ^nobarbm,* 
 &.C., because the first syllable of both these words has 
 the secondary accent ; but we pronounce the same 
 vowels long in Ethiopia, ^gialexM, Haliarlus, &c., 
 because this accent is followed by a semi-consonant 
 diphthong. 
 
 123. This rule sometimes holds good, where a mute 
 and liquid intervene, and determines the first syllable 
 of Adrian, Adriatic, &c., to be long, like day, and 
 not short, like add ; and it is on this analogical division 
 of the words, so little understood or attended to, that 
 a perfect and a consistent pronunciation of them de- 
 pends. It is this analogy that determines the first u to 
 be long in stupidut, and the y short in dypea, though 
 both are short in the Latin, and the o, in the first sylla- 
 ble of Coriolanua, which is short in Latin, to be long 
 in English. 
 
 24. The necessity of attending to the quantity of the 
 Towel in the accented syllable has sometimes produced 
 a division of words in the following vocabulary that 
 does not seem to convey the actual pronunciation.! 
 Thus the words Sulpitius, Anicium, Artemiman, &c., 
 being divided into Svl^t'i-us, A-nic'i-wm, Ar-te-mis'i- 
 um, &c., we fancy the syllable after the accent deprived 
 of a consonant closely united with it in sound, and 
 which, from such a union, derives an aspirated sound 
 equivalent to ih. But, as the sound of t, c, or s, in 
 this situation, is so generally understood, it was thought 
 more eligible to divide the words in this manner, than 
 Lnto Sid-pi'ti-iis, A-ni'd^m, Ar-te-mi'si-vm, as, in the 
 latter mode, the i wants its shortening consonant, and 
 might, by some speakers, be pronounced, as it gener- 
 ally IS in Scotland, like ee. The same may be observed 
 of c and g, when they end a syllable, and are followed 
 by c or i, as in Ac-e-ra'tiis, Ac-i-da'li-a, Tig-el-li'nus, 
 7^eg'y-ra, &-c., where, the c and g ending a syllable, 
 we, at first sight, think them to have their hard sound ; 
 but, by observing the succeeding vowel, we soon per- 
 reive them to be soH:, and only made to end a syllable 
 m order to determine the shortness of the vowel which 
 Drecedcg. 
 
 25. The general rule, therefore, of quantity indicated 
 by tne syllabication adopted in the Vocabulary is, that, 
 when a consonant ends a syllable, the vowel is always 
 snort, whether tlie accent be on it or not; and that, 
 when a vowel ends a syllable with the accent on it, it

 aniversally, which may be done without any violence to

 t [This is not the case, if the correct method of pro- 
 DUiiciutinn is adopted. — Trollope.] 
 
 J [Not according to the above method. — Trollope.] 
 ^Tliere is no doubt, as before observed, that the Xat- 
 
 18 always longjf that the vowel u, when it ends a sf 
 lable, is long, whether the accent be on it or not j ana 
 that the vowel i, (3) (4) when it ends a syllable withou 
 the accent, is pronounced like e ; but; if the syllabi* 
 be final, it has its long, open sound, as if the accent 
 were on it; and the same may be observed of the 
 letter y.

 Rules for Placing the Accent of Greek and Latin 
 Proper Jfamet. 
 
 26. Words of two syllables, either Greek or Latm, 
 whatever be the quantity in the original, have, m Eng- 
 lish pronunciation, the accent on the first syllable 
 and, if a single consonant come between two vowels 
 the consonant goes to the last syllable, and the vowei 
 in the first is long; as, Cato, Ceres, Comus, fec.J 
 
 27. Polysyllables, adopted whole, from the Greek Or 
 Latin, into English, have generally the accent of the 
 Latin ; that is, if the penultimate be long, the accent 
 is on it ; as, Severvs, Democedes, &,c. ; if short, the ac> 
 cent is on the antepenultimate ; as, Demosthenes, Aria- 
 tophan£s, Postkumus, &c. — See Imtroduction. 
 
 28. When Greek or Latin proper names are Angli 
 cized, either by an alteration of the letters, or by cutting 
 off the latter syllables, the accent of the original, as in 
 appellatives under the same predicament, is transferred 
 nearer to the beginning of the word. Thus Proser- 
 pina has the accent on the second syllable ; but, when 
 altered to Proserpine, it transfers the accent to the first. 
 The same maybe observed oT Homerus, Virgilivs, Ho- 
 ratiiis, &c., when Anglicized to Homer, Virgil, Hor- 
 ace, &c. 
 
 29. As it is not very easy, therefore, so it is not ne- 
 cessary, to decide where doctors disagree. Whea 
 reasons lie deep in Greek and Latin etymology, tho 
 current pronunciation will be followed, let the learned 
 do all they can to hinder it. Thus, after Hyperion hai 
 been accented by our best poets according to our own 
 analogy, with the accent on the antepenultimate, a* 
 Shakspeare:' — 
 
 " Hype'riim*8 curls, the front of Jove himself." — BamUt 
 
 " that was to this 
 
 Hype'rUm to a satyr." — Ibid. 
 
 - next day after dawn. 
 
 ,J 
 
 Doth rise and help Hype' rion to his horse." — iSenr^ fth. 
 
 So Cooke^ in his translation of Hesiod's Tlieogony 
 follows the accentuation of Shakspeare : — 
 
 " Hype'rion and Japket^ brothers, join : 
 T^ea and RJtea of this ancient line 
 Descend ; and TViemis boasts the source divine 'O 
 
 " The fruits of Thia and Hype'rion rise, 
 And with refhlgent lustre light the skies. ' 
 
 After this established pronunciation, 1 say, how hopes 
 less, as well as useless, would it be to attempt the 
 penultimate accentuation ! which yet ought undoubt- 
 edly to be preserved in reading or speaking Greek or 
 Latin compositions, but, in reading or speaking Eng- 
 lish, must be left to those who would rather appear 
 learned than judicious.|| But Acrion, Arion, Amphion, 
 
 ins made a differetice in this respect. Tn dissyllab es, the 
 analogy of the English language will admit of this lesi 
 readily than in polysyllables ; but still an accelerated i *^ 
 nunciation may be employed to mark the distinctioT - •

RULES FOR PRONOUNCING GRKEK AND LATIN PROPf-R NAMES. 851 
 
 Ecftioji (Jrion, Ixion, Pandion, Asitm, Alphion,^ri- 
 tn, Of iion, Metltion, Axion, Eion, Thlexion, and 
 Sandio'i, preserve their penultimate accent invariably; 
 while Elltalion, a word of the same form and origin, is 
 pronounced with the accent on the antepenultimate, 
 like Deucalion and FygmalUm; and this, if mistake 
 not, ia the common pronunciation of a ship in the 
 British navy, so called from the name of the Argonaut, 
 who accompanied Jason in his expedition to Colchis, 
 to fetch the golden fleece. 
 
 tiO, The same difficulty of deciding between com- 
 mon usage and classical propriety appears in words 
 ending in ia, as Alexandria, Antiochia, Seleucia, Sa 
 maria, Iphigenia,** and several others, which were pro 
 nounced, by our ancestors, as appears from their po 
 •try, according to our own analogy, with the accent on 
 the antepenultimate syllable ; and there is no doubt 
 but every word of this form would have fallen into the 
 same accentuation, if classical criticism (lad not stepped 
 in and prevented it. A philosophical grammarian would 
 be apt to think we are not much obliged to scholars 
 for this interruption of the vernacular current of pro- 
 nunciation ; but, as there is so plausible a plea as that 
 of reducing words to their original languages, and as a 
 Knowledge of these languages will always be an hon- 
 orable distinction among men, it is strongly to be sus- 
 pected that these words will not long continue in their 
 plain, homespui., ^ilnglish dress. This critical correc- 
 tion, however, seems to have come too late for some 
 words, which, as Pope expresses it, have "slid into 
 verse," and taken possession of our ears ; and there- 
 fore, perhaps, the best way of disposing of them will 
 be to consider them as the ancients did the quantity of 
 certain doubtful syllables, and to pronounce them either 
 way. Some, however, seem always to have preserved 
 the accent of their original language, as Thalia and 
 Sophia; but IpMgenia, Antiochia, Seleucia, and Sama- 
 ria, have generally yielded to the English antepenulti- 
 mate accent ; and Eryihia, Deidamia, Laodamia, Hip- 
 fodamia, Apamia, Ilithyia, and Orithyia, from their 
 seldom appearing in mere English composition, have 
 not iilten been drawn aside into plain English pronun- 
 ciation. The same may be observed of words ending 
 in nicus, or nice ; if they are compounded of the Greek 
 »<«i], the penultimate syllable is always long, and must 
 have the accent ; as, Stratonicus, Berenice, &c. ; if this 
 termmation be what is called a gentile, signifying a 
 man by his country, the penultimate is short, and the 
 accent is on the antepenultimate ; as, Macedonicus, 
 flardonicua, Britannicus, &c. — See Akd ronicus. 
 
 31. Thus we see many of these proper names are ol 
 dubious accentuation; and the authorities which mav 
 be produced on both sides sufficiently show us the inu« 
 tilily of criticizing beyond a certain point. It is in 
 these as in many English words ; there are some which, 
 if mispronounced, immediately show a want of educa 
 tion; and there are others which, though not pro- 
 nounced in the most erudite manner, stamp no impu 
 tation of ignorance or illiteracy. To have a general 
 knowledge, therefore, of the pronunciation of these 
 words, seems absolutely necessary for those who would 
 appear respectable in the more respectable part ol 
 society. Perhaps no people on earth are so correct in 
 the accentuation of proper names as the learned amoni; 
 the English. The Fort-Royal Grammar informs us 
 that, " notwithstanding all the rules that can be given, 
 we are often under the necessity of submitting to cua* 
 , tom, and of accommodating our pronunciation to what 
 is received among the learned, according to the coun- 
 try we are in." '* So we pronounce," says the gr-am- 
 marian, " Aristo'bvlU8,i Basi'lius, Ido'lium, with the 
 accent on the antepenultimate, though the penultimate 
 is long, because it is the custom ; and, on the contrary, 
 we pronounce Andre'aa, ide'a, Mari'a, &c., with tlie 
 accent on the penultimate, though it is short, because 
 it is the custom of the most learned. The Italians," 
 continues he, " place the accent on the penultimate of 
 antonomasi'a, harmoni'a, phUosophi'a, theologi'a, and 
 similar words, according to the Greek accent, because, 
 as Ricciolius observes, it is the custom of their coun- 
 try. Alvarez and Gretser think we ought always to 
 pronounce them in this manner, though the custom, 
 not only of Germany and Spain, but of all France, is 
 against it; but JSebrissensis authorizes this last pro- 
 nunciation, and says that it is better to place the ac- 
 cent of these vowels on the antepenultimate syllable^ 
 which shows," concludes the grammarian, " that, when 
 we once depart from the ancient rules, we have but 
 little certainty in practice, which is so different in dif. 
 ferent countries." 
 
 But, however uncertain and desultory the accentua 
 tion of many words may be, it is a great satisfaction ta 
 a speaker to know that they are so. There is a wide 
 dij(ference between pronouncing words of this kind 
 ignorantly and knowingly. A person who knows that 
 scholars themselves differ in the pronunciation of thesa 
 words can always pronounce with security ; but one 
 who is unacquainted with the state of the accent ii 
 not sure that he is right when he really is so, and a! 
 ways pronounces at his peril. 
 
 '(,* It is hoped the candid peruser of this work will make allowances for an occasional error in dividing t 
 lyllable or placing an accent, when he reflects on the difficulty with which such a work must necessarily ba 
 attended. The author flatters himself, however, that such attention has been paid both to the compilation

 REFERRED TO IN THIS EDITION BT THE FIGURES IN THE COLUMNS OF 
 THE FOLLOWING VOCABULARY. 
 
 m* The sounds <^ the vowels, as long, short, 4'C., toere not marked by Walker in Am Key ; but the same system 
 qf notation that is used in the preceding Dictionary has been applied to this edition qf the Key, by the Editor 
 and thus any special rtference, by numbers, to the preceding Rules of Walker is rendered unnecessary. 
 
 The following Rides have been taken substantially from Walker; No. 1, from the 10th and 11 th of the preceding 
 Rules; No. 2, from the llth; No. 3, from Walker's notes, in the Terminational Vocabidan/, relating to the 
 terminations aia, eia, and eius, (see pages 894 and 904;) No, 4, fiom the 5th Rtde; and No. 5, from the 12<A, 
 13th, lUh, lath, and I6th Rules. 
 
 RuuE 1. — The consonants c, s, t, and x, before ia, ie, ii, to, iu, eu, and yo, preceded by the 
 accent, in Latin and Greek words, as in English, commonly take the sound of sh, as in the fol- 
 lowing words : Por'ti-a, (por'she-a,) A-lex'i-a, (a-l6k'she-a,) Cly'ti-e, (kllsh'e-e,) Hel-ve!tv4, (hel-ve'- 
 Bhe-i,) Pho'd-on, (fo'she-6n,) Add-us, (ak'she-us,) Ca-du'ce-us, (ka-du'she-us,) Si"cy-on, (sish'e-6n.) — 
 When s, preceded by the accent, is followed by ia, or to, it takes the sound of zh ; as, Ma'si-a, 
 (me'zhe-a,) He'si-od, (he'zhe-od.) — According to Walker, the words .^sia, Sosia, and Theodosda, 
 are the only exceptions. 
 
 Rule 2. — In some proper names, t preserves its true sound ; as, Mtion, Amphidyon, Androiion, 
 Euryticm, Oration, Harpocraiion, Hippotion, Iphiiion, Metion, Omytion, Pallantion, Philislion, 
 Polytion, Sotion, Stration, and a few others; but Hephastwn and Theodotion are Anglicized, 
 the last syllables being pronounced like the last syllables in qiiestion and commotion. In the 
 words Msmn, Dionysion, and lasion, the s takes the sound of z, but not of zh. 
 
 Rule 3. — In words ending in eia, eii, eium, and eitM, with tlie accent on the e, the t followmg 
 the accent is to be understood as articulating the following vowel, like y consonant ; as, Etege'ia, 
 (el-e-je'ya,) Pompeii, (pom-pe.'yi,) Pompdum, (pom-pe'yom,) Pompe/ius, (pom-pe'yus.) The same 
 rule also applies to words ending in ia, preceded by a or o having the accent upon it, aa 
 Acha'ia, (a-ka'ya,) Latoia, (la-to'ya,) and likewise to words having the accent on a vowel, followed 
 by ia, though they may not end the word, as PWiades, (ple'ya-dez.) 
 
 Note. — In the different editions of Walker's Key, there is an inconsistency with regard to the class of worda 
 ending in eia, cU, eium, and eius. In some of them, the accent is placed on the e, as in Apute'ius; while others 
 have it placed m the i, as Pompei'us ; and, in some cases, the same word is differently accented in the Initial 
 and Terminational Vocabularies; but, in his notes on the terminations eia and eids, in the Terminational 
 Vocabulary, Walker decides in favor of placing the accent on the e, including the wnole list "under the 
 game general rule, that of sounding the e separately, and the i like y consonant." In this Vocabulary, all the 
 Words of this class have the accent placed upon the e. 
 
 Rule 4. — The diphthongs <s and a, ending a syllable with the accent on it, are pronounced like 
 long e, as in Cafsar, (se'zar ;) but, when followed by a consonant in the same syllable, like shor". e,

 Rule 5. — In Greek and Latin words, which begin with uncombmable consonants, the t. Bl 
 etter is silent: thus C in Cmua and Ctedphon, M in Mneus, P in Psyche and Ptolemy, Ph i| 
 P.hthia, and T in Tmolus, axe not soimded.

PRONUNCIATION 
 
 GREEK AND LATIN PROPER NAMES. 
 
 INITIAL VOCABULARY. 
 
 The words to which the letter {C.) is annexed have 
 been taken from Mr. Can't " Classical Pronuncia- 
 tion of Proper Names." 
 
 Vhe words to which the letter ( 7".) is annexed are words 
 which were added by Mr. TroUope, in his edition of 
 Walker's Key. 
 
 The words to which the letter (S.) is annexed have 
 been derived from Sdieller't Latin and German 
 Lexicon. 
 
 The words which have not one of the above letters 
 annexed to them are to be found in Walker's 
 Key. 
 
 When a word is repeated, for the purpose of showing 
 a deviation from Wtdker'a pronunciation by Carr, 
 
 the letter ( C.) is annexed to the word as pror cunced 
 by Carr; as, for example, the word Abasa is prcv 
 nounced A-ba'sa by Walker, and Ab'a-sa by Carr. 
 
 The figures annexed to the words refer to the Fivi 
 Rules of Pronunciation, on page 854. Thus the fig 
 ure (1) annexed to Abantias refers to Rule 1, which 
 shows that the word is pronounced A-bSn'she-Hs. 
 
 The Rules referred to in the notes at the bottom of the 
 pages, are Walker's Rides for Pronouncing the Voto- 
 els of Greek and Latin Proper Names, found on 
 pages 848— 853. 
 
 The words in Italics are the preceding words Anglic 
 cized. Thus the Latin word Adrianus is changed, 
 in English, into Adrian.

 • *SJa, — This diphtbong ia merely ocular ; for tbe a baa 
 no Bhare in the sound, though it appears in the type. In- 
 deed, as. we pronounce tbe a, there is no middle sound be- 
 tween that letter and e ; and therefore we have adopted 
 ,he last vowel, and relinquished the first. Tbia, among 
 other reasons, makes it probable that the Greeks and Ro- 
 mans pronounced the a as we do in water, and tbe e as we 
 near it in where and there; the middle or mixt sound, then, 
 wou-d be like a in father, which waa probably the sound 
 Biey gave to this diphthong. [In resolving the diph- 
 thong «, the old Latin poets employed oY, as if from the 
 ilreek at. Thus aula:i for aula, and the like. Hence it 
 appears that both the vowels in the diphthong were sound- 
 ed, but tbe latter more faintly than the former. In English, 
 •f course, we can do no better than retain the vernacular 
 ■ncnd of double «. — Trollope.] 
 
 • .f;;i.«.--Thi8 diphthong, though long in Greek and 
 
 Latin, ia, in English pronunciation, either long or short, ae. 
 cording to the accent or position of it. Thus, if it inime. 
 diately precedes the accent, as in ^geus, or with the accent 
 on it, before a single consonant, in a word of two syllablesi 
 it is long, as in ^gis ; before two consonants, it is short, ai 
 in .^gles; or before one only, if the accent be on the ante- 
 penultimate, as J^ropua, For the exceptions to this rule, 
 Bee Rule 93. [And note. — Teollope.] 
 
 J ,^tius. — One of the generals of Valentinian III. ; which, 
 Labbe tells us, ought properly to be written Aetius i that ia, 
 without the diphthong. We may observe, that, as this word 
 comes from the Greek, but is Latinized, it is pronounced 
 with the t like eh, as if written JEahius; but tbe preceding 
 word, *^tiim, being pure Greek, dcea not conform to this 
 analogy. Bee Rulea 11 and 39. [See, alao note M 
 Rule 10. — Tnoixorx.]

 • Mchurii. — There are no words more frequently mia- 
 pronounced, by a mere English acholar, than those of thig 
 lermination. By 9ach a one we sometimes hear Mlcino^is 
 and jintinoiii pronounced In three syllabtea, as if written 
 Al-ci-noui and An^ti-nimi, rhyming with tioaw; but classical 
 pronunciation requu:e9 that these vowels should form dis- 
 tinct syllables. 
 f Aleius Campvs. — 
 
 " Lest from thia flying steed unreined, (aa once 
 Bellerophon, though from a lower clime,) 
 Dismounted, on th' AleianJieU I fall, 
 Erroneous there to wander, and forlorn." 
 
 MiLTOu's Par. Lost, b. vii. v. 17. 
 t jSIeraniJer. — Thia word ia aa frequently pronounced 
 With the accent on the first as on the third syllable. 
 
 « Alatndria. — [The accentuation Al-ex-an-dri'a de- 
 ■Mea the true claasical pronunciation. But 9ee note on 
 Bule 30 Thollopx.]

 [In the different editiona of Walker's Key, this word Is 
 generally found in the Initial Vocabulary of the Greefc and 
 Latin Proper Names with the accent on the penultimate — 
 At-ex-an-dr^a ; but, in the Initial Vocabulary of Scripture 
 Proper Names, and in both of his Terminational Vocabula- 
 ries, it stands with the accent on the antepenultimate — 
 Al-ex-an'dri-a ; and this, it appears, is the pronunciatioii t^ 
 which he gave the preference. In the pronunciation of 
 Scripture Proper Names, Perry, Smart, and C. Taylof 
 place the accent on the antepenultimate — Sl-ex-ari'dri-a. 
 The proper pronunciation, in reading Greek and Latin, is 
 Al-ex-an-dri'a; bat, in reading and speaking English, the 
 name of the ancient as Wfll as of the modern city is proj^ 
 erly pronounced Al-ex-an'dri-a. Mr. Carr pronounces tliii 
 name of the ancient city Al-ex-an-dri'a, and the name of tht 
 mother of the heretic Epiphanes, Al-ex-mi'dri-a, — Ei^iToa.!

 t ^Tiadyomene. — Thia epithet, from tbe Greek dvir^vo), 
 tmergens, Bignifying riaing out of the water, ia applied to 
 the picture of Venue riamg out of the sea, as originally 
 painted by Apelles. I doubt not that some, who only hear 
 thia word without aeeing it written, suppose it to mean 
 jSnno Dominit the year of our Lord. 
 
 J Andromcu» — Thia word Is uniformly pronounced, by 
 our prosodists, with the penultimate accent; and yet, so 
 averse is an English ear to placing the accent on the penul- 
 timate i, that, by all English scholars, we hear it placed upon 
 the antepenultimate syllable. That thia waa the pronuncia- 
 tion of thi« word in Queen Elizabeth'a time, appears plainly 
 from the tragedy of THils Andronuus, aaid to be written by 
 
 Shakspeare ; in which we every where find the antepenulih 
 mate pronunciation adopted. It may, indeed, be quejiiuned 
 whether Shakspeare's learning extended to a knowledge ol 
 the quantity of this Gneco-Latin word ; but, as Mr. Stee. 
 vens has justly observed, there is a greater number of clas- 
 sical allusions in this play than are scattered over all the 
 rest of the performances on which the seal of Shakspeare 
 is indubitably fixed ; and therefore it may be presumed thai 
 the author could not be ignorant of the Greek and Lncin 
 pronunciation of this word, but followed the received Eng- 
 lish pronunciation of his time; and whict by all but pro- 
 fessed scholars, is Btill continued. — See Sophronicvs. — 
 The analogy of the language, with which Shakspeare's au- 
 thority can have nothing to do, is decisive ^a favor of tt>l 
 penultimate accentuation. — Tbollofx.I

 * Antioehia, — For worda of thia termination, see Iphiox- 
 KiA, and No. 30 of the Rules prefixed to thia Yocabulaiy. 
 
 f Apotheosis. — When we are reading Latin or Greek, this 
 word ought to have the accent on the penultimate ayllable ; 
 but, in pronouncing English, we should accent thd ante- 
 penultimate • 
 
 " Allots the prince of his cpleatial line 
 An apotheosis and rites divine." — Garth. 
 [The Greek word is dTro^ianris. If the true pronuncia- 
 tion were retained, the word would necessarily be excluded 
 from English poetry. But this is no reason that an almost 
 solitary instance of poetic license should be a rule in read- 
 ing prose — Teollope.] — [See Apothbosib, in the Dio- 
 ticnary. — Editoe.J 
 
 J .^flr&acea. — Lemprlere, Goiildman, Gesner, and Little- 
 ton accent this word on the first syllable, but Ainsworth 
 ana Holyoke on the second } and this is so much more 
 fc^ieeable to an English ear, that I should prefer it. [See 
 Absaces. — Trollops.] 
 
 $ Arbela^ the city of Aiayria whp'4 the decisive battle 
 
 was fought between Alexander and Darius, and the city ia 
 Palestine of that name, have the accent on the penultimate; 
 but ArbelUf a town in Sicily, has the accent on the antepe 
 nultimate syllable. 
 
 II Arehidamua. — Ainsworth, Gouldman, Littleton, and 
 Holyoke, place the accent on the antepenultimate syllable 
 of this word, but Lempriere and Labbe [also Carr] on the 
 penultimate. I have followed Lempriere and Labbe, though, 
 in my opinion, wrong ; for, as every word of this termina 
 tion has the antepenultimate accent, as Polydamas. TTi*- 
 odamasj &c., I know not why this should be difierenl^ 
 though Labbe tells us that the learned are of his opinion. 
 
 IT Areopagrts.— la.\}he tells us that the penultimate sylla- 
 ble of thia word is, beyond all controversy, short, — qu^- 
 quid nonmUU in tantSt luce etiamnum caieutianU Some o. 
 these blind men are Gouldman, Holyoke, and Littletoi, 
 but Lempriere and Ainsworth, [also Carr,J the best authori- 
 ties, a^ree with Labbe. [Ttiere is no authority for IIk 
 word m full ; but, from the quantity of the word irdy ig 
 Labbe is unquestionably crxrect. —Trollops 1

 * Argivea. — I have observed a strong propenaity in 
 cchool-Doya to pronounce the g in these words hard, as in 
 the English word give. This is, undoubtedly, because their 
 maslera do so ; and they will tell us that the Greek gamma 
 should always be pronounced hard in the words from that 
 anguage. What, then, must we alter that long catalogue 
 of worda where thia letter occurs, aa in Genesis, gentusy 
 Diogenes, ^gyptus^ &c.? The question answers itself. 
 rOur good author has a mighty antipathy to any ap- 
 Voach towarda the classical pronunciation in Anglicized 
 proper names. Perhapa the reasons already given for a dif- 
 ferent prejudice may be thought satisfactory. — Trollope.] 
 T Arsaces — Gouldman, Lempriere, Holyoke, and Labbe, 
 accent thia word on the first syllable, ^nd, unquestionably, 
 mot without casaical authority ; but Ainaworth, and a stiU 
 ireater authority, general uaage, have, in ray opinion, de- 
 
 termined the accent of thia word on the second syllable 
 [The quantity of the word is sufficiently marked b| 
 Its derivatives. Martial. Epigr. — Sias guid in .Arsaela, && 
 Lucan. Phar. viii. 409 — J^asciiurAraaddxa, Hence, perhaps^ 
 by analogy, we may obtain the true pro&unciation of Arbacf* 
 q. V. — Trollope.] 
 
 X Artemis*—' 
 
 " The sisters to Apollo tune their voice, 
 And Artemis to thee, whom darts rejoice " 
 
 Cooks'b Hesiod. Theog. v. 17. 
 
 $ Artemita. — Ainsworth places the accent on the antepe* 
 nultimate syllable of this word ; but Lempriere, GouldmaOi 
 and Holyoke, [also Carr,] more correctly, in my opinloifc 
 on the penultinlate

 penultimate ayllable; but Lempriere, Gouldman, Holyoke, 
 and Labbe, falao Carr,] on the penultimate ; and thia is, in 
 uy opinion, 'tbe better pronunciation. [Tliere is a line in 
 
 the Christian poet Sidonius JipoUinarU, who flourlRheq 
 A- D. 432, which favors the accentuation of Ainsworth —

 • Sellerus. — All our lexicographera unite in giving this 
 word the antepenultimate accent ; but Milton seems to 
 lave sanctioned the penultimate, as much more agreeable 
 English ears, in hia Lycidaa : — 
 
 " Or whether thou, to our moist vows denied, 
 Sleep'Bt by the fable of BeUents old." 
 Though it must be acknowledged that Milton has, in tnis 
 ipord, deserted the classical pronunciation, yet hia author- 
 ity is sufficient to make ua acijuiesca in his accentuation in 
 
 the above-mentioned passage. [True ; but not elHewhere 
 — Trollops.] 
 
 t Bianor. — Lempriere accents this word on the first syV 
 able, but Labbe, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, oi 
 the second ; and these agree with Virgil, Eel. ix. v. 60. 
 
 I Britones. — Labbe tells ua that this word is sometimes 
 
 Jironounced with the penultimate accent, but more frequent 
 y with the antepenultimate. [Qua nee terrtbUeg Cnnfrri

 • CHeomenes. — There ia an unaccountable caprice in Dry- 
 den'a accentuation of thia word, in oppoBition to all proBO- 
 dy ; for, through the whole tragedy of thia title, he places 
 the accent or. the penultimate, instead of the antepenulti- 
 mate, syllable. [This observation ia perfectly just. But 
 is there not aomething equally capricious in our author'a 
 note on the word Androniiyas, compared with this charge 
 against Dryden .' — Teollope.] 
 
 t Cleopatra. —The learned editor of Labbe tells us this 
 word ought to be pronounced with the accent on the ante- 
 penultimate, Cle-op'a-tra, though the penultimate accentua- 
 tion he save, is the more common. [I knowof no authorl- 
 )09 
 
 ty for the penultimate accentuation. — Trollope. — The 
 poeta make it long by poaition. — Carr.J 
 
 j: Cnaeadium. — C before n, in thia and the Bucceeding 
 words, is mute ; and they must be pronounced as if written 
 JVacadiuiUf J^acaUs, &c. [See note on Rule 13. — Trollope.] 
 
 5 CoVAnH' — Lempriere accents thia word on the antepe- 
 nultimate ; but AinBworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, more 
 properly on the penultimate. 
 
 II Colotes. — Ainaworth and Lempriere accent thia word 
 on the antepenultimate syllable ; but Labbe, Gouldman, and 
 Holyoke, more agreeably to the general ear, on the penu^

 • Eridaniu. — 
 
 " Alpheua and Eridanus the strong, 
 That riaea deep, and atately rolls along." 
 
 Cooke'b Hesiod. Theog. V. 520. 
 T Erythea. — 
 
 " Chrysaor, Love the guide, Callirhoe led, 
 Daughter of Ocean, to the genial bed, 
 Whence Geryon sprung, fierce with hie triple head ; 
 Whom Herculea laid breathless on the ground 
 In ErytAea, which the waves surround." 
 
 CooEx'a Hesiod. Theog v. 523. 
 The Greek is 'E^iuSefa. — Trollopb.] 
 X Eumenet - I ta not a little surprising that ao elegant a 
 
 writer as Hughes should, throughout the whole tragedy ol 
 the Sie^e of JDamascus, accent thia word on the penultimate 
 syllable ; especially as there is not a single proper name, ol 
 more than two syllables, in the Greek or Latin languages, 
 of thia termination, which has the penultimate syllable 
 long. Lee has done the same in the tragedy of jSZexaTirfer, 
 which would lead us to suppose there is something natural- 
 ly repugnant to an English ear in the antepenultimate ac- 
 centuation of these words, and something agreeable in the 
 penultimate. 
 
 $ Euthalia. — liobhe observes that this word does nol 
 come from the muse T^dia, as some suppose, but from thi 
 masculine Euthalius; as EiUatiai Eumeniay EustoUiij Ev^th 
 pia, Emmelia, &c , which are professedly accentec on ttu 
 antepenultimate. Bee Rule 30.

 * Oramais. — Aa Alexander'a paasihg the River Oranicia 
 a a common subject of history, poetry, and painting, it ia 
 not wonderful that the common ear ahould have fiven in to 
 a pronunciation of this word more agreeable to English 
 analogy than the true claasical accent on the penultimate syl- 
 lable. The accent on the flrat syllable ia now so fixed aa to 
 make the other pronunciation aavor of pedantry — See An- 
 DR0KICU8. — [That ia, if correct apealting be pedantry.— 
 Tbollopp-I 
 
 t ae^creon. — Gouldman and Holyoke accent tbia word 
 on the ant>3ienultimate syllable, but Labbe and Lempriere, 
 [also Carr J" more classically, on the penultimate 
 
 X Bielioffiiialus, — Thia word ia accented on the penultimate 
 ayUable by Labbe and Lempriere ; but, in my opinion, mord 
 agreeably to the general ear by Alnsworth, Gouldman, and 
 Holyoke, on the antepenultimate. 
 
 $ Seracliius. — Thia name of the weeping philosopher i& 
 so frequently contrasted with that of Demacritus, the laugh 
 ing philoaopher, that we are apt to pronounce both with thb 
 aame accent ; but all our proaodista are uniform in giving 
 the antepenultimate accent to the latter, and the penulti. 
 mate to the former word.

 * JItppoerono. — Nothing can be better^stabliahed tban the 
 pronunciation of this word in four ayllablea, according to ita 
 eriginal ', and yet, euch is the license of English poeta, that 
 .hey not unfrequently contract it to three. Thus Cooke, 
 fleMOd. TAeo?. V. 9: — 
 
 " And now to Hlppocrene resort the fair, 
 Or, Olmiua, to thy sacred springs repair." 
 And a late translator of the Satires of Peraiiia : — 
 " Never did I ao much as sip, 
 Or wet with Hippocrme a lip." 
 This contraction ia inexcusable, as it tends to embarrass 
 f^wnnciatii <) and lower the language of poetry. 
 
 Bvirau — Lempriere accents thia word on the penulti- 
 
 mate syllable, but Labbe, Gouldman, and Holyoke, men 
 properly, on the antepenultimate. 
 X HyperioTU — See Rule S9 
 $ lapetua. — 
 
 " Son of lapettts, o'er-aubtle, go. 
 And glory in thy artful theft below." 
 
 Cooke's Henod. 
 [Horat Od. 1. 3, 38 : Jladax lapeH gmns. — Tkollopb ] 
 II Idea.— This word, aa a proper name, I find in no lexi 
 cographer hut Lempriere. 
 
 The Engliah appellative, signifying an iir.age in the mind, 
 haa uniformly the accent on the second syllable, aa in Uu

 Greek ISia^ in opposition to the Latin, which we generally 
 follow in other cases, imd which, in thia word, has the pe- 
 nultimate ahort, in AinsworCh, Labbe, and our best proso- 
 dists ; and, according to this analogy, idea ought to have the 
 accent on the firat syllable, and that syllable abort, as the 
 first of idiot. But, when thia word is a proper name, aa the 
 daughter of Dardanua, I ahould suppose it ought to fall into 
 the general analogy of pronouncing Greek names, not by 
 accent, but by quantity ; and therefore tliat it ought to have 
 the accent on the first syllable; and, according to our own 
 analogy, that syllable ought to be short, unless the penulti- 
 mate in the Greek is a diphthong, and then, according to 
 general usage, it ought to have the ' accent. — [The fact is, 
 that the Greek, in this case, is a diphthong, the name being 
 'iJaia, and therefore, in Latin and English, Ids'a. In the 
 beginning of the note, there is some confusion in our au- 
 thor's statements. The penultimate in i6ca is short; in the 
 Latin ideaj long. Aurel. Vic. : Animoa ideafadgat — Trol- 
 
 LOFX.] 
 
 * Idommeus, — The termination of nouns in eus was, 
 among the ancients, sometimes pronounced in two sylla- 
 bles, and sometimes, as a diphthong, in one. Thus Labbe 
 tells us that AckiUeils, JirgyUetiSj Phalareila^ Apsirteils, are 
 pronounced commonly in four syllables, and JVereus, Or- 
 vhmsj Porteiis, TerBiiSj in three, with the penultimate sylla- 
 ble short in all ; but that these words, when in verae, have 
 generally the diphthong preserved in one syllable : 
 
 " Eumenidum veluti demens videt agmina Fentheus." 
 
 ViBG. 
 
 He observea, however, that the Latin poets very fre- 
 quently dissolved the diphthong into two syllables : 
 *'Naiadum coetu, tantum non OrpheUa, Hebrum 
 Poenaque respectus, et nunc nianet Orpheus in te." 
 
 The best rule, therefore, that can be given to an English 
 reader, is, to pronounce words of this termination always 
 with the vowels separated, except an English poet, in imi- 
 tation of the Greeks, should preserve the diphthong ; but, 
 in the present word, I should prefer I-dom'&meus to I-dom-e- 
 ne'us. whether in verse or proae. — [The reverse of this is 
 decidedly the best rule j viz., to preserve the diphthong invar 
 riably, except where an English poet, after the example of 
 the Latin, dissolves it. I-dom-e^e'tis must be incorrect, as 
 the Greek name is always spelt with an b ; so that the 
 resolved diphthong would be pronounced Id^o-men'e-v^. — 
 TaoLLOPE.] — [The following remarks are quoted from Mr. 
 Jarr: "It must be observed, that the termination eus, in 
 proper names, derived from the third declension of Greek 
 contracts in eiis, as Orpheua, Pentheus, Theseus, ('O/30£T3y, 
 VlspBe-vg, Quaevs,) are generally pronounced as one syllable 
 in poetry ; as, 
 
 ' Eumenidum veluti demens videt igmina Pentheus.* 
 
 ViEO. 
 
 • Hffic Proteus, et ae jactu dedit ffiq«^ ^r in altum.* 
 
 VlHQ. 
 
 But, mU of poetry, the termination eUs must be dissolved ac- 
 cording to the analogy of the Latin language, (as ZJffiw, 
 from Zevs,) when the peiultimate e, representing the Greek 
 s in the original, will of course, be short j as, OrpMus 
 ThtsSuSj fee. But, if they are converted into adjectives, 
 the penu tiraate becomes long ; as, PmthSusj (adj. of PenthS- 
 U3i) JVerSuSj (adj. of JSTerSua;) OrphSus, (adj. of OrpkSus;) 
 thus representing the quantity of the original Gr^ek adjec- 
 tives, HevdsLos, Ni]peTos, 'Op^elos" — Editoh.] 
 
 ■( Ilioneits. — See Idomenbus. 
 
 t Inaus. —All our prosodists make the penultimate sylla- 
 «le of this word short, and consequently accent it on the 
 liO 
 
 antepenultimate ; but Milton, by a license he was allowed 
 to take, accents it on the penultimate syllable : 
 " As when a vulture on Imaiis bred, 
 Whose snowy ridge the roving Tartar bounds.** 
 5 Iphigenia, — The antepenultimate syllable of this word 
 had been in quiet possession of the accent for more than a 
 century, till some Greeklings, of late, have attempted to 
 place the stress on the penultimate, in compliment to the 
 original 'l^tyivcia. If we ask our innovators on what prin 
 ciples they pronounce this word with the accent on the t, 
 they answer, because the i stands for the diphttiong ei, 
 wliich, being long, must necessarily have the accent on it. 
 But it may be replied, this was, indeed, the case in the 
 Latin language, but not in the Greek, where we find a thou- 
 sand long penultimates without the accent. It is true, one 
 of the vowels which composed a diphthong in Greek, when 
 this diphthong was in the penultimate syllable, generally 
 had an accent on it ; but not invariably ; for a long penul 
 timate syllable did not always attract the accent in Greek . 
 as it did in Latin. An instance of this, among thousands 
 is that famous line of dactyls in Homer's Odyssey, express 
 ing the tumbling down of the stone of Sisyphus : 
 
 AvTi; ^TTSiTa nedovSc kvXivScto Xdai dvaidfjS' 
 
 Odyss. b. 11. 
 Another striking instance of the same accentuation ap 
 pears in the first two verses of the Iliad : 
 
 Mrlviv aei^E Qea TlrfKYi'Ca6Ew^ 'AxiAJifos 
 Ov\opi.ivTiv, 3i fivpV'Axoiiois aXye i6r}Ke 
 
 I know it may be said that the written accents we see on 
 Greek words are of no kind of authority, and that we ought 
 always to give accent to penultimate long quantity, aa the 
 Latins did. Not here to enter into a dispute about the au« 
 thority of the written accents, the nature of the acute, and 
 its connection with quantity, which has divided the learned 
 of Europe for so many years, — till we have a clearer idea ol 
 the nature of the human voice, and the properties of speak 
 ing sounds, which alone can clear the difficulty, — for the 
 sake of uniformity, perhaps, it were better to adopt the pre- 
 vailing mode of pronouncing Greek proper names like the 
 Latin, by making the quantity of the penultimate syllable 
 the regulator of the accent, though contrary to the genius 
 of Greek accentuation, which made the ultimate syllable its 
 regulator ; and if this syllable was long, the accent could 
 never rise higher than the penultimate. Perhaps, in Ian 
 guage, as in laws, it is not of so much importance that th« 
 rules of either should be exactly right, as that they should 
 be certainly and easily known : so the object of attention, 
 in the present case, is not so much what ought to be done 
 as what actually is done ; and, as pedantry will Edways be 
 more pardonable than illiteracy, if we are in doubt about the 
 prevalence of custom, it will always be safer to lean to the 
 side of Greek or Latin than of our own language — [Enoigh 
 has been said on the pronunciation of words of this c lass 
 in Rule 30. — Trollofe.] — [See note on Iphigenia, in the 
 Terminational Vocabulary, on page 893. — Editor.] 
 
 II IpHmedia, — This and the foregoing word have the ac- 
 cent on the same syllable, but for what reason cannot be 
 easily conceived. That Iphigenia, having the diphthong Et 
 in its penultimate syllable, should have the accent on that 
 syllable, though not the soundest, is at least a plausible rea* 
 son, but why should our prosodists give the same accent to 
 the t in Iphimedi^, which, coming from 1<i>L and ^e^scj, has 
 no such pretensions? If they say it has the accent in the 
 Greek word, it may be answered, thia is not esteemed a 
 sufficient reason for placing the accent in Iphigenia ; be- 
 sides, it is giving up the sheet-anchor of onodera Drosc^iBta.

 the quantity, as the regulator of accent. We know it was 
 an axiom in Greek proaody, that when the last syllable was 
 ong by nature, the accent could not rise beyond the penul- 
 timate ; but we know, too, that this axiom is abandoned in 
 Demosthenes f ^ristoteles, and a thousand other words. The 
 only reason, therefore, that remains for the penultimate ac- 
 centuation of this word, Is, that this syllable ia long in some 
 of the best poets. Be it so. Let those who have more learn- 
 ing imd leisure than I have find it out. In the interim, as 
 Ibis may, pernaps, be a long one, I must recur to my advice 
 nndei the iaat word ; though Ainaworth has, in my opinion, 
 very properly, left the penultimate syllable of both these 
 words ihort,yet those who affect to be thought learned will 
 
 always find their account in departing as f^r as posalbl* 
 from the analogy of their own language in favor of Greek 
 and Latin. [Carr gives as the Greek 'l^ifiiSeia,— 'Editor.

 * Lasthenia. — All the prosodists I have consulted, except 
 Ainaworth, accert this word on the penultimate syllable ; 
 and, though English aneilogy would prefer the accent on the 
 antepenultimate, we must necessarily yield to such a de- 
 cided Buperiority of votea for the penultimate in a word so 
 little Anglicized by use. — See Iphigenia, 
 
 ■f Leonattis. — In the accentuation of this word I have fol- 
 lowed Labbe and Lempriere, the former of whom says, 
 " Q,uanquam de hac voce amplius cogitandum cum eruditis 
 viris existimem." Till, then, these learned men have con- 
 Bidered this word, I think we may be allowed to consider it 
 as formed from the Latin leo and natus, "lion-born j'* and, 
 as the a in na(i« ia long, no shadow of reason can be given 
 why it should not have the accent. Thia is the accentual 
 tinn constantly given to it in the play of Cymbdina, and ia, 
 in my opinion, the best. — [Unquestionably ; and therefore 
 til e accent has been so placed. ^- Tboixofe.] 
 
 X lALcia. — Labbe criea out loudly against those who ac- 
 ctnt this word on the penultimate, which, as a Latin word, 
 
 ought to havR the accent on the antepenultimate syllable. 
 ** If once," says he, " we break through rules, why should 
 we not pronounce Ammia, Anastasia^ Cecilia, Lutretia^ JVa- 
 talia, &,c., with the accent on the penultimate, likewise ? " 
 This ought to be a warning against our pronouncing the 
 West-India island St. Lii'da, as we sometimes hear it, SU 
 Lud'a* 
 
 $ iupereaZ. — This word is so little interwoven with oar 
 language, that it ought to have ita true Latin accent on the 
 penultimate syllable. But, wherever tbe antepenultimate 
 accent ia adopted in verae, as in Shakspeare's Julius C%sar, 
 where Antony says, — 
 
 ** You all did see that on the Lit'percal 
 I thrice presented him a kingly crown,"— 
 we ought to preserve it, Mr. Barry, the actor, who was la- 
 formed by some scholar of the Latin pronunciation of thu 
 word, adopted it in this place, and pronounced it Luper'eti 
 whicD crated every ear that heard him.

 mate accent, [Carr doea the same,] in uppoaition to Lem- 
 priere who accenta the penultimate ayllable. 
 
 * McLarens. — Labbe pronounces tiiis word in four sylla- 
 ble3, when a noun subatantive ; but AinBWorth marks it as 
 Q triayllable, when a proper name, and, in my opinion, in- 
 
 correctly. -

 to the antepenultimate accent, with Labbe, Gouldiran, and 
 Holyoke, [alBo Carr,] though the penultimate, which l.em

 * Mulucha. — This word is accented on the antepenulti- 
 mate syllab e by Labbe, Lempriere, and Ainsworth, and on 
 the penultimate by Gouldman and Holyoke. Labbe, in- 
 deed, aaya ut volueris ; and I shall certainly avail myself of 
 thiB permission to place the accent on the penultimate ; for, 
 wben thia ayllable ends with u, the English have a strong 
 propensity to place the accent on it, even in opposition to 
 etymology, as in the word Arbutus. 
 
 ■f MyealeBnd Mycone^ [MuUna.'] — An English ear seems 
 to have a strong predilection for the penultimate accent on 
 these words ; but all our prosodists accent them on the ante- 
 penultimate The same may be observed of MnUna. See 
 note on 0ryu3. — [Ovid. Met. xiL 963: Mater erat Mycale, 
 
 fee. vii. 463: Hitic humUem Myeonunij &:c — xv. 823: 
 
 Victa petent MuUjub, &c — Trollope-] 
 
 t Myrinus — Labbe is the only prosodist I have met with 
 who accents this word on the antepenultimate syllable; 
 and, as this accentuation is so contrary to analogy, I have 
 folliiwed Len-priere, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, 
 tvith the accent on the penultimate. Seethe word in the 
 Tm-ininatioml ^ocaintiaTT/. — [Thia may be true cf 'he epi- 
 th!:;t of Apollo, so called from the town Myrina, but nuL *,r 
 llie name of a gladiator mentioned in Mart. Epig. xii. 29: 
 XiLfCT cuvi MyrinQ peteretur^ 4;c — Trollope.] 
 
 $ [JWwico. — The penultimate is long. — Editor. 
 
 ^^JVasica excepit templi non extitit auctor." — Cvid.J 
 II [JVemea ; Ncju^a. — The penultimate is short. — Editob. 
 
 "Et vastum JVemea sub rupe leonem." — Viboil.] 
 IT JVeobule. — Labbe, Ainsworth, Gouldman, Litt eton, and 
 Holyoke, [also Carr,] give this word the penultimate accent; 
 and therefore I have preferred it to the anlepenuJiimate ao 
 cent ^iven it by Lempriere, not only from the number of au- 
 thorities in its favor, but from its being more agreeable to 
 analogy. — [Compare Hon Od. iii. 13, 5. — TRdLLupE.] 
 
 ** JSTeoT-is. — The authorities are nearly equall" balanced 
 between the penultimate 'and antepenultimate atxent; and 
 therefore I may say, as Labbe sometimes does, U volueris 
 but I am inclined rather to the antepenultimate accent, at 
 more agreeable to analogy, though I think the {eniUlimati 
 more agreeable to the ear.

 * JVmiacris, — Labbe, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holy- 
 oke give this word the antepenultimate accent ; but Lem- 
 priere, Littleton, and the Gradusea, place the accent, more 
 agreeably to analogy, on the penultimate.— [The latter ia 
 correct. See Ovid. Met. viii. 426. Past. v. 97 — Trollopi:.]

 - Our fleet Apollo sends 
 
 Where Tuscan Tyber rolls with rapid force. 
 And wiere J^umicus opes his holy source." 
 
 DarDEiT. 
 
 t tfandina,. — Lempriere places the accent on the penul- 
 timate syllable of thia word, but Labbe, Gouldman, and 
 Hc>yoke, [also Carr,] or the antepenultimate. Ainaworth 
 marks it in the same manner among the appellatives, nor 
 an there be aiw doubt of 'ta propriety. 
 
 5 Oceana. — So prone are the English to lay the accent 
 on the penultimate of words of this termination, that we 
 scarcely ever hear the famous Oceana of Harrington pro- 
 nounced otherwise. 
 
 II (Eaearusj [(Eagvus.'] — This diphthong, like (8, is pro- 
 nounced as the single vowel e. If the conjecture concern- 
 ing the sound of is was right, the middle sound between 
 the o and e of the ancients must, in all probabi ity, have 
 been the sound of our a in ■water. — See the word J&i.. 
 
 IT Ogyges. — This word is, by all our prosodists accented 
 on the first syUable, and consequently it must sound ex 
 actly as if written Odd'je-jez ; and this, however odd tt an 
 English ear, must be complied with. — [Og'gy-ges is the 
 most correct pronunciation. The quantity is marked ii 
 the derivative Ogygiua, in Lucan. Phars. i, 675: EtUrm 
 Ogygio decvrrit plena Lyaio, — TBOixorx.]

 * Omphale* — The accentuation which a mere English 
 speaker would give to thia word was experienced, a few 
 years ago, by a pantomime called Hercules and Omphale, 
 when the whole town concurred "in placing the accent on 
 the second syllable^ till some classical scholars gave a checli: 
 to this pronunciation by placing the accent on the first. 
 This, however, was far from banishing the former manner, 
 nnd disturbed the public ear without correcting it. Those, 
 bowever, who would not wish to be numbered among the 
 •t Igar, must take care to avoid the penultimate accent. 
 
 C^htiu. — See looHEHsni 
 
 J Onjus. — 
 " And, at once, Broteus and Oryus slew : 
 Oryus^ mother, Mycal6, was known, 
 Down from her sphere to draw the lab'ring moon." 
 Garth's Ovid. Met. 
 
 $ Palmyra. — Nothing can be better fixed, in an English ear 
 than the penultimate accentuation of this word. Thia pro 
 nunciation is adopted by Ainswortn and Lempriere. Gould 
 man and Holyoke seem to look the other way ; but Labb« 
 says the more learned give thia word the antepenultimatl 
 accent, and that this accent ia more agreeable to therein t^

 rule. Thoae, however, muat be pedantic coxcomba, who 
 ibould attempt to disturb the received pronunciation, when 
 in EngtiBh, because a contrary accentuation may, possibly, 
 be proved to be more agreeable to Greek or Latin. 
 
 * Pammmes. — I find this word nowhere but in Lem- 
 priere, who accents it on the penultimate i But, as all words 
 of this termination have the antepenultimate accent, till this 
 appears an exception, I Bhall venture to alter it. — [Pdm'- 
 me-nSf, CAaa. naiiiievTis.\ 
 
 t Pantheon. — Thia word ia universally pronounced with 
 the accent on the aecond ayllable, in English ; but^ in Latin, 
 it has its first ayllable accented ; and thia accentuation malcea 
 BO alight a difference to the ear, that it ought to have the 
 preference. 
 
 J Papias — This is the name of an early Christian writer, 
 who first propagated the doctrine of the millennium ; and 
 It is generally pronounced with the accent in the aecond 
 ayllable, but I believe corruptly, aince Labbe has adopted 
 the antepenultimate accent, who muat be well acquainted 
 with the true pronunciation of eccleaiaatical chanictera. 
 Ill 
 
 $ Paryaatis. — Lahbe tells us that some prosodista contend 
 that tliis word ou^ht to be accented on the antepenultimata 
 syllable, and we hnd Lempriere has so accented it ; but so 
 popular a tragedy as Alexander^ which every where accents 
 the penultimate, has fixed thia pronunciation, in our owa 
 country, beyond a doubt. 
 
 II Patroclus. — Lenipriere, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Ho- 
 lyoke, accent the penultimate syllable of this word, but Labba 
 the antepenultimate ; our Graduses pronounce it either way ; 
 but I do not hesitnte to prefer the penultimate accent ; and, 
 tin some good reason be given for tile contrary, I think Pa 
 trocles, the historian, and Patrodi, a small island, ought la 
 be pronounced witJi the same accent as the friend of Achillea. 
 — [The is the Greeic oviicron ; and the name should, there 
 fore, be pronounced Palroc'hLSy rather than Patro'cltu ,• but 
 the penultimate ia almost invariably long. See Homer, ft*. 
 aim. — Trdllofe.] [FatriSclus: — generally made long ht

 * Pleiades. — 
 
 " When with their domes the slow-paced snails retreat, 
 Beneath some foliage, from the burning heat 
 Of the Pte'iadeey your tools prepare ; 
 The ripened harvest then deserves your care.'* 
 
 Cooke's Hesiod. Works and Days. 
 The translator has adhered strictly to the original II^»?t a- 
 les, in malting this word four syllables. Virgil has done the 
 ■ame : — 
 
 " Plt'ladas, Hyadaa, claramque Lycaonis Arcton." 
 
 Qeorgie i. 
 Bu^ Or'l oas contracted this word into three syllables: — 
 " Pleiades incipiunt humeros relevare paternos." 
 
 FasU, iv. 169. 
 
 fhe latter translators of the classics have generally con- 
 tncted this word to three syllables Thus, in Ogilby's trans- 
 lation of Virgil's Georgics, b. 1 : — 
 
 « First let the Eaatern Pleiades go down. 
 
 And the bright star in Ariadne's crown." 
 " The Pleiades and Hyadea appear. 
 The sad companionB of the turning year." 
 
 Creech's ManiUus. 
 But Dryden h«>, to the great detriment of the poetical 
 iound of this word, Anglicized it, by squeezing it into two 
 fyllables : — 
 
 " What are to him the sculpture of the shield. 
 Heaven's planeta, earth, and ocean's watery field, 
 The Pleiads, Hyads, Less and Greater Bear, 
 l/ndipped in seas, Orion'a angry star ? " 
 
 Otid'b Jlfet. b. 12. 
 This unpleasant contraction of Dryden's eeema not to 
 have been much followed. Elegant speakers are pretty uni- 
 form in preferring the trisyllable ; but a considerable variety 
 appears in the sound of the diphthong ei. Moat speiikers 
 pronounce it like the substantive «/«; and this pronuncia- 
 tion is defended by the common practice, in most schools, 
 of sounding the diphthong £i in this manner in appellatives : 
 but, thoufh Greek appellatives preserve the original souud 
 of their letters, as (JiXaurin, irpoSdrtoi', ». r. X., where the t 
 loes pr ' de into M, as in Latin words, yet proper names 
 
 which are transplanted into all languages, partake of tlu 
 soil into which they are received, and fall in with the anal- 
 ogies of the language which adopts them. There is, thero- 
 fore, no more reason for preserving the sound of ei in propel 
 names than for pronouncing the c like k in Pliacitmj Laesda- 
 Tium, &c. 
 
 But perhaps it will be said that our diphthong ei has tha 
 sound of eye aa well as the Greek ei ; to which it may bn 
 answered, that thie ia an irregular sound of these vowels, 
 and can scarcely be produced as an example, since it exists 
 but in either, neither, height, and sleisrkt. The first two words 
 are more frequently and analogically pronounced eether and 
 neether; height is often pronounced so aa to rhyme with 
 reeiffkt, and would, in all probability, be always so pro- 
 nounced, but for the false supposition, tliat the abstract 
 must preserve the sound of the verb or adjective from which 
 it is derived ; and, with respect to sleight, though Dr. John- 
 son says it ought to be written slight, as we sometimes see 
 it, yet, if we observe his authorities, we shall find that sev 
 eral respectable authors spell the word in this manner; and 
 if we consult Junius and Skinner, particularly the last, wo 
 shall see the strongest reason, from etymology, to prefer this 
 spelling, as, in all probability, it comes from sly. The ana 
 logical pronunciation, therefore, of this diphthong, in our 
 own language, ia either as heard in vein, rein, &e., or in 
 perceive, receive, &c. The latter is adopted, by many speak 
 ers, in the present word, as if written Pleeades ; but Plyades, 
 though less analogical, must be owned to be the more polite 
 and literarypronunciation. See note on Elegeia, iv theTermi- 
 national Vocabulary. — [The diphthong et, in Greek words, 
 should always be pronounced like eye. The varying sound 
 of the English ei can scarcely be produced as an analog^' with 
 the Greek. For the otl er pronunciations alluded to m thia 
 note, the reader is refened to Rules 9, 10, and 11. — Taoi/. 
 LOPE.] [Walker pronnuncea PWya-dH in his Dii'.tion.iry, aa 
 do also Perry, Jonas, Fulton and Knight, Smart and Beid 
 See Pleiads, in this Dictionary. — Editok.] 
 
 f Popitius Lcenas Nothing can show the digsi'.y of tk 
 
 Roman commonwealth, and the terror of its arms, more thav 
 the conduct of thia mr.ii. He was sent as an amiaaaador 
 Antiochus, king of Syria, and was commissioned to ord^ 
 that monarch to abstain from hostilities seainf ntolena

 a Bticic which he had in hia hand, made a circle round him

 * Sdetieia. — Lempriere and Labbe accent this word on 
 lile peiiultimale, but Ainsworth, Gouldinan, and Holyoke, 
 f n the antepenultimate Aa this word, according to Strabo, 
 had its penultimate formed of the diphthong ci, SeAcixceiu, 
 lllis syllable ought to have the accent ; but, as the antepe- 
 nultimate accent is so incorporated into our tongue, I would 
 ■trongly recommend the pronunciation which an English 
 •cholar would give it at first sight, and that is placing the 
 accent on the «. This ia the accent Milton gives it : — 
 
 " Eden atretched her line 
 
 From Auran eastward to th? royaJ towera 
 Of great Seleucia, built by Grecian kings." 
 
 Par. LoBt^ b. iv. 
 If however, the English scholar wishes to shine in the claa- 
 Bical pronunciation of this word, let him take care to pro- 
 noiince the c like t only, and not like th, which sound it 
 necesiiarily has, if the accent be on the antepenultimate 
 lyilalile. See Rules 10 »nd 30.— [And notes. The e should 
 properly be pronounced like*; and the next word should 
 llso hive the accent on the penultimate. — Troli.ope — 
 _abbe Carr. ice, accent the antepenultimate, Se-leu'd-dx. 
 .-Editor.] 
 
 f Serapis. — There ia not a diaaenting voice among m i 
 proaodists againat the pronouncing of this word with til 
 accent on the penultimate syllable; and yet, to show Its 
 tendency of English pronunciation, when a ship of th 1 
 name had a desperate engagement with one of the Frencl 
 which attracted the attention of the public, everybody pro- 
 nounced it with the accent on the first syllable. Milton baa 
 done the same, in his sublime description of the grand'* t% 
 of Pandemonium : — 
 
 ' Not Babylon 
 
 Nor great Alcairo such magnificence 
 EquEdled in all their glories to enshrine 
 Belus or Serapis^ their gods ; or seat 
 Their kings, when Egypt with Assyria strove 
 In wealth and luxury." 
 
 Par. Last, b. i. V. 717. 
 J Sergiohu. — I find this word in no dictionary but Lem- 
 priere'a, and there the accent is placed upon the penulti- 
 mate, instead of the antepenultimate, svllable. — [Juv. Bat 
 vi. 105 ; Sergialua jam radere guttur. — Trollopb.] 
 
 $ Severus. — This word, like Serapia, is universally mia 
 pronounced, by the mere English schi^ar, with the acctmS 
 on the first syllable

 • ^wthsus. — This word, like Orpheus^ and othera of the 
 lame form, has the accent on the nrat syllable ; but poeta 
 often contract the two last syllables into one 3 as Pope : — 
 " O Smintheusy sprung from fair Latona's line, 
 Thou guardian power of Cilia the divine ! " 
 ■-> See Tdoheneus. [And notes. — Editob.] 
 
 t Sophronicus.— I find this word in no prosodist but 
 ^bbe ; and he places the accent on the penultimate sylla- 
 ble, like most other Words of this termination; "unless," 
 says -he, " any one think it more likely to be derived from 
 Svphron, than" from victory ; " that is, by uniting a ^enefal ter- 
 mination to the root of the word, than combining it with 
 another word significant of itself. But, as there is a Greek 
 adjective o-tij0poi/i<fdff, signifying ordained by nature to teiii. 
 perajicey it is much more probable that Saphroincua is this ad- 
 'active, used substantively, than that it should be compound- 
 9A of awtpptiiv and vXko^, conquering temperance i and there- 
 lire the antepenultimate accent seems preferable. 
 
 t ^pmda. — Tbis word bas tbe accent placed on the first 
 
 syllable by all our prosodists ; but a mere English ear la cm 
 only inclined to place the accent on the second syllable, but 
 to pronounce the word as if it were a dissyllable, Sporades'% 
 but this is so gross an error that it cannbt be too carefully 
 avoided. 
 
 5 SniAw. — This word is generally heard, even among 
 the learned, in two syllables, as if written Sui-das. Lathe 
 however, makes it three syllables, and accents the drst, 
 " although," says he, " by what right I know not, it is len- 
 erally pronounced with the accent on the penultimate.* ft 
 may be observed, that, if we place the accent on the first 
 syllable, the t in the second must be pronounced like e and 
 that the general pronunciation which Labbe complains of, 
 that of placing the accent on the second syllable, must, in 
 our English pronunciation of Greek or Latin words, pre- 
 serve the i in its long, open sound, as in idle. If, therefore, 
 we pronounce the i in this manner, it is asi-fficient proul 
 that we place the accent on the penultimate s> liable, which, 
 though common, is, aa Labbe observes, w tnout giod at* 
 thoritv.

 • Troilus, — Thia word ia almost alwaya beard as if it 
 were two ayllables only, and as if written Troy'l-as. This ia 
 ■ corruption of the first magnitude : the vowels should be 
 kept separate, as if written TVo'e-iiw. — See Zoilus. 
 
 T TyanetLs. — This word is only used as an adjective to 
 ApoUoniua, the celebrated Pythagorean philosopher, and ia 
 formed from the town of Tyana, where he was born. The 
 natural formation of thia adjective would, undoubtedly Jie 
 Tijaneus, with the accent on the antepenultimate syllable. 
 Labbe, at the word Tyana, saya, " El inde deductum Tyor 
 neus, quidquid sciam reclamare nonnullos Bed immerito, ut 
 Batia norunt eruditi." 
 
 The numberlesg authorities which might be brought for 
 pronouncing thia word either way, sufliciently show how 
 equivoctd ia its accent, and of how little importance it is to 
 which we give the preference. My private opinion coin- 
 tides with Labbe ; but, as we generally find it written with 
 the diphthong, we may presume the penultimate accent has 
 prevailed, and that it ia the safest to follow. — [Unquestion- 
 ably, Tbollope. — Carraccent9 it Ty-a'jie^iu* — Editor.] 
 
 I 7))dau. — Thia word, like several othera of the aame 
 tenDination, waa pronounced by the Greeks sometimea 'n 
 
 three, and sometimes iij two, syllables, the eu considered lu 
 a diphthong. When it was pronounced in three syllableB, 
 the penultimate syllable was long, and the accent was on it 
 as we find it in a verse of Wilkie's Epigmtiad : — 
 " Venus, still partial to the Theban arms, 
 TVdeuA* Bon seduced by female charms." 
 
 But the most prevailing pronunciation was that with t(i 
 antepenultimate accent, as we generally find it in Pope'B 
 Homer : — 
 
 " Next came Idomeneus and Tydeus' son, 
 AJax the less, and Ajax Telamon." 
 - See IDOMESBU.. P""'* ^"^ *>• "• '• *"• 
 
 5 ytnafrum. — Though the accent may be placed either 
 on the antepenultimate or the penultimate syllable of this 
 word, the latter is by far the preferable, as it is adopted by 
 Lempriere, Labbe, Gouldman, [also Carr,] and other good 
 authorities. — [Mart. Epig. xiii. 101. 1 : Baxai fmifri. So 
 Hor. Od. ii. 6. 16. — Teou-ope.] 
 
 II Vemiiro, — I have given this word the penultimate tto- 
 cent, with Lempriere, in opposition to Airaworth, wh« 
 adoDts the antepenultimate

 0° By inspecting the foregoing Vocabulary, we see that, notwithstanding all the barriers with which the learned 
 have guarded the accentuation of the dead languages, still some words there are which despise their laws, and 
 boldly adopt the analogy of English pronunciation. It is true, the catalogue of these is not very numerous | 
 for, as an error of this kind incurs the penalty of being thought illiterate and vulgar, it is no wonder that a 
 pedantic adherence to Greek and Latin should, in doubtful cases, be generally preferred. 
 
 But as the letters of the dead languages have insensibly changed their sound by passing into the living 
 ones, BO it is impossible to preserve the accent from sliding, sometimes, into the analogies of our own tongue ; 
 and when once words of this kind are fixed in the public ear, it is not only a useless, but a pernicious, ped 
 intry to disturb them. Who could hear, without pity, of Alexander's pasaing the River GrarU'eus, i or of hii 
 marrying the sister of Parya'atia ? These words, and several others, must be looked upon as planets shot 
 from their original spherea, and moving round another centre. 
 
 After all the care, therefore, that has been taken to accent words according to the best authorities, some 
 nave been found so differently marked by different proaodists, as to make it no easy matter to know to whick 
 we shall give the preference. In this case, I have ventured to give my opinion, without presuming to decide^ 
 ind merely as an 'HrcorcxoK, or Interim, till the learned have pronounced the final aentence. 
 
 * Zenodotus. — All our proaodists but Lempriere give this 
 word the antepenultimate accent ; and, till a good reason be 
 (iven why it should differ from Herodotus, I must beg leave 
 10 follow the majority. 
 
 t ZoihM. — Tbetwovowela, in this word, are always sep- 
 irated in the Greek and Latin j but, in the English pronun- 
 jiatiim of it, they are frequently blended into a diphthong, 
 m in the words oil, toil, &c. This, however, la an illiterate 
 
 pronunciation, and should be avoided. The word should 
 have three syllables, and be pronounced as if written Zo'b- 
 
 X [Notwithstanding this remark. Walker baa placed Jlifl 
 word with the accent on »ile penultimate {Oram' cut) ill 
 hia Termmatimial focabulary; and it standa firat wkb t^ 
 same accent in his Imtittl Koeatuian/.— See Gsahiii 
 Editok.] 
 
PEEFACE 
 
 TO THE TERMINATIONAL VOCABULARY. 
 
 TiK <G a ret:«Bpective view of language, or surveying it in its terminations, affords not only a new, out ti 
 idvaita ;eou8 view of all languages. The necessity of this view induced me, several years ago, to arrange tb* 
 whole }^nglish language according to its terminations ; and this arrangement I found of infinite use to me in 
 aonsult.ng the analogies of our tongue. A conviction of its utility made me desirous of arranging the Greek 
 and Latin proper names in the same manner, ajid more particularly, as the pronunciation of these langnagei 
 depends more on the termination of words than any other we are acquainted with. Of such utilitv is this 
 arrangement supposed to be in the Greek language, that the son of the famous Hoogeveen, who wrote on the 
 Greek Particles, has actually printed such a Dictionary, which only waits for a preface to be published. The 
 labor of such a selection and arrangement must have been prodigious. Nor is the task I have undertaken, in 
 tae present work, a slight one ; but the idea of rendering the classical pronunciation of proper names still more 
 easy, encouraged me to persevere in the labor, however dry and fatiguing. 
 
 I flattered myself 1 had already promoted this end, by dividing the proper names into syllables upon analogi- 
 cal principles, but hoped 1 could still add to the facility of recollecting their pronunciation, by the arrangement 
 here adopted ; which, in the first place, exhibits the accent and quantity of every word by its termination. 
 
 In the next place, it shows the extent of this accentuation, by producing, at one view, all the words differ 
 ently accented, by which means may be formed the rule and the exception. 
 
 Thirdly, when the exceptions are but few and less apt to be regarded, by seeing them contrasted with the 
 rule they are imprinted more strongly on the memory, and are the more easily recollected. Thus, by seeing 
 that Spercfiiits, JCenophontuis, and Darius are the only words of that very numerous termination which hava 
 (he accent on the penultimate, we are at perfect ease about all the rest. 
 
 Fourthly, by seeing that all words ending in enes have universally the antepenultimate accent, we easily 
 recollect that the pronunciation of Eumenes with the accent on the penultimate is radically wrong, and is only 
 tolerated because adopted by some respectable writers. Thus, too, the numerous termination in odes is seen 
 to be perfectly antepenultimate ; and the ambiguous termination in idet is freed, in some measure, from ita 
 intricacy, by seeing the extent of both forms contrasted. This contrast, without being obliged to go to Greek 
 etymologies, shows, at one view, when this termination has the accent on the penultimate i, as in Tydides, and 
 when it transfers the accent to the antepenultimate, as in Thucydides ; which depends entirely on the quantity 
 of the original word from which these patronymics are formed. 
 
 And, lastly, when the number of words pronounced with a different accent are nearly equal, we cjn, at least, 
 find some way of recollecting their several accentuations better than if they were promiscuously mingled with 
 all the rest of the words in the language. By frequently repeating them, as they stand together, the ear will 
 gain a habit of placing the accent properly, without knowing why it does so. In short, if Labbe's Catholia 
 Indices, which is in the hands of all the learned, be useful for readily finding the accent and quantity of propel 
 names, the present Index cannot fail to be much more so, as it not only associates them by tlieir accent and 
 quantity, but according to their termination also ; and by this additional association, it must necessarily render 
 any diversity of accent more easily perceived and remembered. 
 
 To all which advantages it may be added, that this arrangement has enabled me to point out the true sound 
 of every termination ; by which means, those who are totally unacquainted with the learned languages, will find 
 tnemselves instructed in the true pronunciation of the final letters of every word, as well as its accent and 
 quantity. 
 
 It need scarcely be observed, that in the following Index, almost all words of two syllables are omitted ; for, 
 aa dissyllables in the Greek and Latin languages are always pronounced with the accent on the first, it was 
 needless to insert them. The same may be observed of such words as have the vowel in the penultimate sylla 
 Die followed by two consonants ; for in this case, unless the former of these consonants were a mute, and the 
 latter a liquid, the penultimate vowel was always long, and consequently always had the accent. This analogy 
 takes place in our pronunciation of words from the Hebrew, which, with the exception of some few that 
 have been Anglicized, such as Bethlehemite, Nazarene, &c,, have the accent, like the Greek and Latin worda 
 cither on the penultimate or antepenultimate syllable. 
 
 It might have been expected that 1 should have confined myself to the insertion of proper names alone, 
 without bringing in the gentile adjectives, as they are called, which are derived from them. This omissioi 
 would, undoubtedly, have saved me immense trouble ; but these adjectives, being sometimes used as substan 
 tives, made it difficult to draw the line ; and, as the analogy of accentuation was, in some measure, connectec 
 with these adjectives, I hoped the trouble of collecting and arranging them v ou Id not be entirely thrown away

 • Elegeia — The ancients sometimes separated the vowels 
 R in this termination, and sometimes pronounced them as a 
 diphthong. The general mode of pronouncing them with 
 ua is to consider them as a diphthong, and to pronounce it 
 aa long or doubles,' which, from its squeezed sound, ap- 
 proaches to the initial t/, and makes these words pronounced 
 as if written El~e-j4^yah, Ny-ji^yah, &.c. This is the pro- 
 nunciation which ought to be adopted ; but scholars who 
 are fond of displaying their knowledge of Greek will be 
 sure to pronounce Elegeia^ Hijgeuiy or rather Hygieia, An- 
 tAcui, and Z>eio7;»a, with the diphthong like the nounei/e; 
 while Cartheiaj or Carteia^ Aquileiaf Pompeia, and Tarpeia^ of 
 Latin original, are permitted to have their diphthongs 
 ■ounded like double e, or, which ia nearly the same thing, 
 tf the vowels be separated, to sound the e long, aa lu sqva^ 
 ■nd tfafl i as y consonant, articulating the inal a. — Se^

PRONUNCIATION 
 
 OF 
 
 SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 ADYERTISEMENT. 
 
 The true pronunciation of the Hebrew language, as Doctor Lowth observes, is lost. To itlfer us 
 for assistance to the Masoretic points, would be to launch us on a sea without shore or bottom. The 
 only compass by which we can possibly steer, on this boundless ocean, is the Septuagint version o{ 
 the Hebrew Bible ; and as it is highly probable the translators transfused the sound of the Hebrew 
 proper names into the Greek, it gives us something like a clew to guide us out of the labyrinth. 
 But even here, we are often left to guess our way; for the Greek word is frequently so different 
 from the Hebrew, as scarcely to leave any traces of similitude between them. In this case custom 
 and analogy must often decide, and the ear must sometimes solve the difficulty. But these difficul- 
 ties relate chiefly to the accentuation of Hebrew words ; and the method adopted in this point will 
 be seen in its proper place. 
 
 I must here acknowledge my obligations to a very learned and useful work, — the " Scripture Lex- 
 icon " of Mr. Oliver. As the first attempt to facilitate the pronunciation of Hebrew proper names, 
 by dividing them into syllables, it deserves the highest praise ; but, as I have often differed widely 
 ijom this gentleman in syllabication, accentuation, and the sound of the vowels, I have thought it 
 necessary to give my reasons for this difference, which will be seen under the Rules ; of the valid 
 ity of which reasons the reader will be the best judge. 
 
 N. B. As there are many Greek and Latin proper names in Scripture, particularly in the New 
 Testament, which are to be met with in ancient history, some of them have been omitted in this 
 selection ; and therefore, if the inspector do not find them here, he is desired to seek for them in 
 the Vocabulary of Greek and Latin Names. 
 
 UTILES FOR PRONOMCING SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 1. In the pronunciation of the letters of the Hebrew 
 proper names, we find nearly the same rules prevail as 
 in those of Greek and Latin. Where the vowels end 
 K syllable with the accent on it, they have their long, 
 open sound ; as, Na'bal, Je'hu, Si'raeh, Go'shm, and 
 Tu'bal. — See Rule 1, prefixed to the Greek and Latin 
 Proper Names. 
 
 2. When a consonant ends the syllable, the preced- 
 
 * fMr. Oliver is unquestionably right in principle, and 
 Mr. Wallter wrong ; but, tliough tlie analogy botli of the 
 Grceic and Hebrew is in favor of the former, the genersl 
 
 ing vowel is short ; as, Sam'u-el, Lem'u-el, Sim'e-on, 
 SoVo-mon, Suc'coth, Syn'a-gogue. (See Rule 2, pre- 
 fixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names.) I here 
 differ widely from Mr. Oliver ; for I cannot agree with 
 him that the e in Abdiel, the o in Amon, and the u ni 
 Ashur, are to be pronounced like the ee in seen, the « 
 in tone, and the u in tune, which is the rule he lays 
 down for all similar words.* 
 
 practice, and the analogy of the English language, ai 
 in favor of the latter. — Teolloh.]

 3. Every final i forming a distinct syllable, though 
 unaccented, has the long, open sound, as A'i, A^ris'a-i. 
 — See Rule 4, prefixed .o the Greek and Latin Proper 
 Names. 
 
 4. Every unaccented i ending a syllable not final, 
 is pronounced like e, w A'ri-el, Ab'di-el, pronounced 
 A're-el, Ab'de-d. — See Rule 4, prefixed to the Greek 
 and Latin Proper Names. 
 
 5. The vowels ai are sometimes pronounced in one 
 syllable, and sometimes in two. As the Septuagint 
 version is our chief guide in the pronunciation of He- 
 brew proper names, it may be observed, that when 
 these letters are pronounced as a diphthong in one 
 syllable, like our English diphthong in the word daily, 
 they are either a diphthong in the Greek word, or ex- 
 pressed by the Greek e or i; aSfBenaVah, Bavaia; Hu'- 
 shaif X&ffL ; Hu'rai, OvqI, &c. ; and that when they 
 are pronounced in two syllables, as Sham'mori, Shaah'- 
 a-i, Ber-a-i'ah, it is because the Greek words by which 
 they are translated, as, Safiai, State, Batata, make 
 two syllables of these vowels. Mr. Oliver has not al- 
 ways attended to this distinction : he makes Sin'a-i 
 three syllables, though the Greeks made it but two in 
 Siva. That accurate prosodist, Labbe, indeed, makes 
 It a trisyllable j but he does the same by Aaron and 
 Canaan, which our great classic, Milton, uniformly re- 
 duces to two syllables, as well as Sinai. If we were 
 to pronounce it in three syllables, we must necessa- 
 rily make the first syllable short, as in Shim'e-i; but 
 this is so contrary to the best usage, that it amounts to 
 a proof that it ought to be pronounced in two sylla- 
 bles, with the first i long, as in Shinar. This, how- 
 ever, must be looked upon as a general rule only ; these 
 fowels in Isaiah, Graecized by 'Hcaia;, are always 
 pronounced as a diphthong, or at least with the ac- 
 cent on the a, and the i like y, articulating the suc- 
 ceeding vowel : in Cmaiphas, likewise, the ai is pro- 
 nounced like a diphthong, though divided in the Greek 
 Kotiaifas J * which division cannot take place in this 
 word, because the i must then necessarily have the 
 accent, and must be pronounced as in Isaac, as Mr. 
 Oliver has marked it, but I think contrary to universal 
 usage. The only point necessary to be observed in 
 the sound of this diphthong, is the slight difference we 
 perceive between its medial and final position ; when 
 it is final, it is exactly like the English ay without the 
 accent, as in holy day, roundelay, galloway ; but when 
 it is in the middle of a word, and followed by a vowel, 
 the I is pronounced as if it were y, and as if this y 
 articulated the succeeding vowel ; thus Ben-ai'ah is 
 pronounced as if written Ben-a'yah. 
 
 6. Ch is pronounced like k, as Chebar, Chemosh, 
 Enoch, &c., pronounced Kebar, Kemosh, Enoch, &c. 
 Cherubim and Rachel seem to be perfectly Anglicized, 
 IS the eft, in these words, is always heard as in the 
 Englisb words cheer, child, riches, &c. (See Rule 12, 
 prefixed to the Greek and Latin Proper Names.) The 
 same may be observed of Cherub, signifying an order 
 of angels ; but when it means a city of the Babylonish 
 empire, it ought to be pronounced Ke'rub. + 
 
 7. Almost the only difference in the pronunciation 
 of the Hebrew, and the Greek and Latin, proper names, 
 is in the sound of the g before e and i. In the last two 
 .anguages, this consonant is always soft before these 
 
 * [It is not necessary to make either 'Htraias or Kaia(pas 
 Biore than a trisyllable — Trollope.] 
 
 ■f [According to analofry, ch should always be pronounced 
 (ike K ; and a Hebraist, in reading Hebrew, would so pro- 
 nounce it, ns well in Cherub as in Chebar. This would, 
 howcTjr, at vir of affectation in English and even the ap- 
 
 vowels ; as, GeUius, Gippius, &c., pronounced JeUtvt 
 Jippius, &c. ; and in the first it is hard ; as, Gera, Ger 
 izim, Gideon, GUgal, Megiddo, Megiddon, &c. Thij 
 diflTerence is without all foundation in etymology ; foi 
 both g and c were always hard in the Greek and Latin 
 languages, as well as in the Hebrew ; but, the latter lan- 
 guage being studied so much less than the Greek and 
 Latin, it has not undergone that change which f^imil- 
 iarity is sure to produce in all languages ; and even the 
 solemn distance of this language has not been able to 
 keep the letter c from sliding into s, before e and i, in 
 the same manner as in the Greek and Latin ; thus, 
 though Gehazi, Gideon, &c., have the g hard, Ccdrom, 
 Cedron, Cisai, and ditem have the c soft, as if writ- 
 ten Sedrom, Sedron, &c. The same may be observed 
 of Igeabarim, Igeal, Nagge, Shage, Pagiel, with the 
 g' hard, and Ocidelus, Ocina, and Pharadon with the 
 c soft like s. % 
 
 8. Gentiles, as they are called, ending in ines and 
 tics, as Philistines, Hivites, Hittites, &c., being Angli- 
 cized in the translation of the Bible, are pronounced 
 like formatives of our own ; as, PkUistins, \Vhitfield 
 ites, Jacobites, &c. 
 
 9. The unaccented termination ah, so frequent in He 
 brew proper names, ought to be pronounced like the a ii 
 father. The a in this termination, however, frequent 
 ly falls into the indistinct sound heard in the final a in 
 Africa, ./Etna, &c. ; nor can we easily perceive any 
 distinction, in this respect, between Elijah and Elishai 
 but the final ft preserves the other vowels open ; as, 
 Colhozeh, Shiioh, &c., pronounced Colhozee, Shilo, 
 &c. (See Rule 7, prefixed to the Greek and Latin 
 Proper Names.) The diphthong ei is always pro- 
 nounced like ee; thus Sa-mei'tcs is pronounced as ii 
 written Sa^^mee'us. But if the accent be on the ah, 
 then the a ought to be pronounced like the a in fa- 
 ther ; as, TaJt'e-ra, Tah'pe-nes, &c. 
 
 10. It may be remarked, that there are several He 
 brew proper names, which, by passing through the 
 Greek of the New Testament, have conformed to the 
 Greek pronunciation; such as Aceldama, Geruzareth, 
 Bethphage, &c., pronounced Aseldama, Jenezareth, 
 Bethphaje, &c. This is, in my opinion, more agreea 
 ble to the general analogy of pronouncing these He 
 brew-Greek words, than preserving the c and g hard. 
 
 Rules for .Ascertaining the English Quantity oj 
 the Vowels in Hebrew Proper Names 
 
 II. With respect to the quantity of the first vowel 
 in dissyllables, with but one consonant in the middle, 1 
 have followed the rule which we observe in the pro- 
 nunciation of such dissyllables, when Greek or Latin 
 words, (see Rule 18, prefixed to the Greek and Latin 
 Proper Names ;) and that is, to place the accent on the 
 first vowel, and to pronounce that vowel long, as, K^- 
 rah, and not Kor'ah, Mo'loch, and not Mol'och, as Mr. 
 Oliver has divided them, in opposition both to analogy 
 and the best usage. I have observed the same analogy 
 in the penultimate of polysyllables, and have not di- 
 vided Balthaaar into Bal-thas'ar, as Mr. Oliver has 
 done, but into Baltha'sar.

 12. In the same manner, when the accent is on the 
 •ntepenultimate syllable, whether the vowel end the 
 ■yllable or be followed by two consonants, the vowel 
 is always short, except followed by two vowels, as in 
 Greek and Latin proper names. {See Rules prefixed 
 to these names, Nos. 18, 19, 20, &c.) Thus Jehosa- 
 phat has the accent on the antepenultimate syllable, 
 according to Greek accentuation by quantity, (see In- 
 troduction to this work,) and this syllable, according 
 to the clearest analogy of English pronunciation, is 
 short, as if spelt Je-hos'a-pkat. The secondary accent 
 has the same shortening power in Othomas, where the 
 primary accent is on the third, and the secondary on 
 the first syllable, as if spelt Oth-o-ni'as ; and it is on 
 these two fundamental principles of our own pronun- 
 ciation, namely, the lengthening power of the penulti- 
 mate, and the shortening power of the antepenultimate 
 accent, that I hope I have been enabled to regulate 
 and fix many of those sounds which were floating about 
 m uncertainty, and which, for want of this guide, are 
 differently marked by different orthoepists, and often 
 differently by the same orthogpist. 
 
 Rides for Placing the Accent on Hebrew Proper 
 Karnes. 
 
 13. With respect to the accent of Hebrew words, it 
 cannot be better regulated than by the laws of the 
 Greek language. I do not mean, however, that every 
 Hebrew word which is Grscized by the Septuagint 
 should be accented exactly according to the Greek 
 rale of accentuation ; for if this were the case, every 
 word ending in el would never have the accent higher 
 than tlie preceding syllable ; because it was a general 
 rule in the Greek language, that when the last syllable 
 was long, the accent could not be higher than the pe- 
 nultimate. Nay, strictly speaking, were we to accent 
 these words according to the accent of that language, 
 they ought to have the accent on the last syllable, be- 
 cause '^^St/jX and 'JaQaijX, Abdiel and Israel, have 
 the accent on that syllable. It may be said that this 
 accent on the last syllable is the grave, which, when 
 on the last word of a sentence, or succeeded by an 
 enclitic, was changed into an acute. But here, as in 
 words purely Greek, we find the Latin analogy prevail ; 
 and because the penultimate is short, the accent is 
 placed on the antepenultimate, in the same manner as 
 in Socrates, Sosihenes, &c., though the final syllable 
 of he Greek words SbiXQurr}?^ Staa&hrjg, &c., is 
 long, and the Greek accent on the penultimate. (See 
 Introduction prefixed to the Rules for Pronouncing 
 Greek and Latin Proper Names.) It is this general 
 prevalence of accenting according to the Latin anal- 
 ogy, that has induced me, when the Hebrew word has 
 been Graecized in the same number of syllables, to 
 prefer the Latin accentuation to what may be called 
 OUT own. Thus, Cathua coming to us through the 
 Greek Ka&ovu^ I have accented it on the penultimate, 
 because the Latins would have placed the accent on 
 this syllable, on account of its being long, though an 
 English ear would be better pleased with the antepe- 
 nultimate accent. The same reason has induced me 
 to accent Ckaseba on the antepenultimate, because it 
 is GrcBcized into Xaae(ia, But when the Hebrew and 
 Greek word does not contain the same number of syl- 
 
 * 'The reader must judge how far this rule, in minor 
 points, is correct. It is needless to say, that the editor can- 
 
 lables; as Mea^o-baliy MeffwjS/a, Id'thel, 'IdovjjXog, i1 
 then comes under our own analogy, and we neglect 
 the long vowel, and place the accent on the antepe- 
 nultimate. The same may be observed of Mordecai^ 
 from ikZayiJoj^aroff.* 
 
 14. As we never accent a proper name from the 
 Greek on the last syllable, {not because the Greeks did 
 not accent the last syllable, for they had many words 
 accented in that manner, but because this accentuation 
 was contrary to the Latin prosody,) so if the Greek 
 word be accented on any other syllable, we seldom pay 
 any regard to it, unless it coincide with the Latin ac- 
 cent. Thus in the word Gede'rah, I have p!aced the 
 accent on the penultimate, because it is Grsecized by 
 rudijQa^ where the accent is on the antepenultimate ; 
 and this because the penultimate is long, and this long 
 penultimate has always the accent in Latin. (See this 
 further exemplified. Rule 18, prefixed to the Greek and 
 Latin Proper Names, and Introduction, near the end.) 
 Thus, though it may seem, at first sight, absurd to 
 derive our pronunciation of Hebrew words from the 
 Greek, and then to desert the Greek for the Latin, yet, 
 since we must have some rule, and, if possible, a 
 learned one, it is very natural to lay hold of the 
 Latin, because it is nearest at hand. For as language 
 is a mixture of reasoning and convenience, if the true 
 reason lie too remote from common apprehension, 
 another more obvious one is generally adopted ; and 
 this last, by general usage, becomes a rule superior ta 
 the former. It is true, the analogy of our own Ian 
 guage would be a rule the most rational j but while 
 the analogies of our own language are so little under- 
 stood, and the Greek a.nd Latin languages are so justly 
 admired, even the appearance of being acquainted with 
 them will always be esteemed reputable, and infallibly 
 lead us to an imitation of them, even in such pointi 
 as are not only insignificant in tliemselves, but incon- 
 sistent with our vernacular pronunciation, 
 
 15. It is remarkable that all words ending in ias and 
 iah have the accent on the i, without any foundation 
 in the analogy of Greek and Latin pronunciation, ex 
 cept the very vague reason that the Greek word places 
 the accent on this syllable. I call this reason vague 
 because the Greek accent has no influence on words in 
 ael, iel, ial, Slc. ; as, 'laQatjX^ ^A^iu'iX, BeXiaX, x. r. X. 
 
 Hence we may conclude the impropriety of pro 
 nouncing Messias with the accent on the first syllable 
 according to Labbe, who says we must pronounce it 
 in this manner, if we wish to pronounce it like the 
 French with the as rotundum et facimdum ; and, in- 
 deed, if the i were to be pronounced in the French 
 manner, like e, placing the accent on the first syllable 
 seems to have the bolder sound. This may serve as 
 an answer to the learned critic, the editor of Labbe, 
 who says, "The Greeks, but not the French, pronounce 
 ore rotundo ; " for though the Greeks might place the 
 accent on the i in Mtaoia^, yet as they certainly pro 
 nounced this vowel as the French do, it must have tho 
 same slender sound, and the accent on the first sylla- 
 ble must, in that respect, be preferable toitj for the 
 Greek i, like the same letter in Latin, was the slen- 
 derest of all the vowel sounds. It is the broad, diph- 
 thongal sound of the English i, with the accent on it, 
 which makes this word sound so mach better in Eng 
 lish than it does in French, or even in the true ancient 
 Greek pronunciation.

 RULES FOR PRONOUNCiNG SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. 
 
 »n the a only in words of more than three syllables, as 
 JS'phra-im and II0z'ra-im have the accent on the ante- 
 penultimate, but Ho-ro-na'im, Ram-a-tha'im, &,c., on 
 the penultimate syllable. This is a general rule ; but, 
 if the Greek word have the penultimate long, the 
 accent ought to be on that syllable; as, Phar-va'im, 
 ^aQovlfi^ &.C. 
 
 17. Kevmel, Jenmel, Nemuel, and other words of the 
 flame form, having the same number of syllables a^ the 
 Greek words into which they are translated, ought to 
 have the accent on the penultimate, as that syllable is 
 long in Greek ; but Emanuel, Samuel, and Lemuel,* 
 are irrecoverably fixed in the antepenultimate accentu- 
 ation, and show the true analogy of the accentuation 
 of our own language. 
 
 18. Thus we see what has been observed of the ten- 
 dency of Greek and Latin words to desert their origi- 
 nal accent, and to adopt that of the English, is much 
 more observable in words from the Hebrew. Greek 
 and Latin words are fixed in their pronunciation by a 
 thousand books written expressly upon the subject, and 
 ten thousand occasions of using them ; but Hebrew 
 words, from the remote antiquity of the language, from 
 the paucity of books in it, from its being originally 
 written without points, and the very different style 
 of its poetry from that of other languages, afford us 
 scarcely any criterion to recur to for settling their 
 pronunciation, which must, therefore, oflen be irreg- 
 ular and desultory. The Septuagint, indeed, gives us 
 some light, and is the only star by which we can steer ; 
 but this is so frequently obscured as to leave us in the 
 dark, and force us to pronounce according to the anal- 
 ogy of our ovm language. It were to be wished, indeed, 
 that this were to be entirely adopted in Hebrew words, 
 
 * I Not Lemuel, which is frequently pronounced with the 
 psnultinuUe accent. Emawtel and Samuel are so completely 
 
 where we have so little to determine us, and that thosa 
 words which we have worn into our own pronuncia- 
 tion were to be a r^ple for all others of the (ame form 
 and termination ; but it is easier to bring abcut a revo 
 lution in kingdoms than in languages. Men of learn 
 ing will always form a sort of literary aristocracy ; they 
 will be proud of the distinction which a knowledge of 
 languages gives them above the vulgar, and will be 
 fond of showing this knowledge, which the vulgar will 
 never fail to admire and imitate. 
 
 The best we can do, therefore, is to make a sort of 
 compromise between this ancient language and our 
 own; to form a kind of compound ratio of Hebrew, 
 Greek, Latin, and English, and to let each of these 
 prevail as usage has permitted them. Thus Eman- 
 uel, Samiuel, Lemuel, which, according to the Latin 
 analogy and our own, have the accent on the antepe 
 nultimate syllable, ought to remain in quiet posses- 
 sion of their present pronunciation, notwithstanding the 
 Greek 'EfifiamvijX, Sa/iovijX, Jteftovijl ; but EUslma, 
 Esdrelon, Gederalt, may have the accent on the penul- 
 timate, because the Greek words into which they are 
 translated, 'Eliaovi, 'Eaiqijicofi, TadjiQa, have the 
 penultimate long. If this should not appear a satisfac- 
 tory method of settling the pronunciation of these 
 words, I must entreat those who dissent from it to 
 point out a better. A work of this kind was wanted 
 for general use ; it is addressed neither to the learned 
 nor the illiterate, but to that large and most respecta- 
 ble part of society who have a tincture of letters, but 
 whose avocations deny them the opportunity of culti 
 vating them. To these a work of this kind cannot 
 fail of being useful ; and by its utility to these the 
 author wishes to stand or fall.

 * Aaron. — Tius la a word of three syllables in Labbe, 
 who says it is used to be pronounced with the accent on 
 the penultimate ; but the general pronunciation of this 
 word in English is in two syllables, with the accent on the 
 first, and as if written jl'ron. Milton uniformly gives it 
 tbis syllabication and accent : — 
 
 " Till by two brethren (those two brethren call 
 Moses and Aaron) sent from God to claim 
 His people from inthralment."

 X Abram, or Abraham. — The first name, of two syllables, 
 was the patriarch's original name ; but God increased it to 
 the second, of three syllables, as a pledge of an increase in 
 blessing. The latter name, however, from the feebleness 
 of the h in our pronunciation of it, and from the absence 
 of the accent, is liable to such an hiatus, from the proxim- 
 ity of two similar vowels, that, in the most solemn pronun. 
 elation, we seldom hear this name extended to three sylla- 
 bles. Milton has but once pronounced it in this manner, 
 but has six times made it only two syllables ; and this may 
 be looked upon as the general pronunciation.

 he, should he dissolve the Hebrew diphthong in Sada'i, Sindij 
 Tohna'ij Sec, and at the same time make two syllablea of 
 the diphthong in CosZeu, which are commonly united into 
 one? In this, says he, he is inconsistent with himself. — 
 See Sinai. 
 
 . * [In most of the editions of Walker's Key, this word ia 
 placed in the Initial Vocabulary with the accent on the 
 penultimate, (jS-ma'sa,*) but in the Tcrminational Vocabulary, 
 in the different editions, it has the accent on the antepenul- 
 timate, (jSm'ffl-sa.) — Editor.] 
 
 t Amen. — The only simple word in the language which 
 has necessarily two successive accents. — [See Amek in 
 this Dictionary. — Editor.] 
 
 J Anathema. — Those who are not acquainted with the 
 profound researches of verbal critics, would be astonished 
 to observe what waste of learning has been bestowed on 
 this word by Labbe, in order to show that it ought to be 
 accented on the antepenultimate syllable. This pronuncia- 
 tion has been adopted by English scholars; though some 
 divines have been heard, from the pulpit, to give it the 
 penultimate accent, which so readily unites it in a trochaic 
 pronunciation with maranatha, in the First Epistle of St. 
 Paul to the Corinthians : " If any man love not the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema maranatha." 
 
 $ Areopagus. — There ia a strong propensity, in English 
 .eadera of the New Testament, to oronounce this word 
 
 with the accent on the penultimate syllable ; and even 
 some foreign scholars have contended that it ought to be 
 so pronounced, from its derivation from "Apcos TOicavj the 
 Doric dialect for irriynv, the fountain of Mars^ which was 
 on a hill in Athens, rather than from "Apsos nayoi, the hiiJ 
 of Mars. But Labbe very justly despises this derivation, 
 and aaya, that of all the ancient writers, none have said 
 that the Areopagus was derived from a fountain, or from a 
 country near to a fountain j but all have confessed that it 
 came from a hill, or the summit of a rock, on which this 
 famous court of judicature was built. Yossius tells us thaX 
 St. Augustine, De Civ. Dei, 1. x. cap. 10, calls this wora 
 pagum Martis, the village of Mars, and that he fell into this 
 error because the Latin word pagiis signifies a village or 
 street } but, says he, the Greek word signifies a hill, which, 
 perhaps, was so called from -itaya or Ttriyr\, (that is, foun- 
 tain,) because fountains usually take their rise on hills. 
 Wrong, however, as this derivation may be, he tells us it is 
 adopted by no less scholars than Beza, Budseus, and Sigo- 
 nius. And this may show us the uncertainty of etymology 
 in language, and the security of general usage ; but, in the 
 present case, both etymology and usage conspire to place 
 the accent on the antepenultimate syllable. Agreeably t'l 
 this usage, we find the prologue to a play observe that 
 ** The critics are assembled in the pit. 
 And form an Areopagus of wit '

 * Bethphage. — ^his word is generally pronounced, by 
 rhe illiterate, in two syllables, and without the second A, as 
 if written Beth'page 
 
 t Canaan, — This word is not unfrequRntly pronounced 
 In three syllables, with the accent on the second. But Mil- 
 ton, whc, in his 'Paradise Lost^ has introduced this word six 
 times, has constantly made it two syllnhles, with the accent 
 on the fi St. This is perfectly agreealilti lo the syllibication 
 and accentuation of-iTsoac and fioZoam, which are alwtiys 
 beard in two syllablea. This suppn-saion of a syllablH, in 
 th* latter part of these words, arises from the nbssucu of 
 accent. An accent on the second syllable would pr 'vent 
 liie hiati ? arising ttom the two towbIs, as it du^s in Baal 
 
 and Baalimy which are always heard in two and three syl- 
 lables respectively. — See Aooitai. 
 
 t CapRrnaum. — This word is often, but improperly, pro- 
 nounced with the accent on the penultimate. 
 
 $ Cfientb. — See Rule 6. 
 
 IT Deborah. — The learned editor of Labbe tells us that Ihii 
 word has the penultimate long, both in Greek and Hebrew 
 and yet he observes that our clergy, when reading the Holy 
 Scriptures to the people in English, always pronounce it with 
 the accent on the first syllable; "and why not," says t\% 
 " when they place the accent on the first syllable of orator, 
 auditor, and successor t But," continues he, "I suppose 
 tbey accent them otherwise, when they speak Latin "* 
 Who doubts it ?

 * lomeL — Tbia word ia coUoquiaUy pronounced in two 
 ■yllablea, and not unfrequently beard in tbe aame manner 
 fraro tbe pulpit. Tbe tendency of two vowela to unite, 
 wben tbere ia no accent to keep them diatioct, ia tbe cauae 
 of tbia corruption, as in Canaan^ laojac, &.c, ; but, as there is 
 • greater diificulty in keepin^r separate two unaccented vow- 
 els of the aame kind, so tbe latter corruption is more excu- 
 ■able than tbe former j and therefore, in my opinion, this 
 word ought always, in public pronunciation, sapeciall^r in 
 leading the Scripture, to be beard in tluree syllablea. Milton 
 Introduces tbia word four times in his Paradise Loaty and 
 constantly makes It two syllables enly But tboae who un- 
 
 derstand English prosody know that we have a great num^ 
 ber of words, which have two distinct impulaea, that go 
 for no more than a single ayllable in verae, aucb as heaven, 
 , gioen, &c. ; higher and dyer are always coliaidered aa dia. 
 syllables, and i»re and dire, which have exactly tbe Bam« 
 
 ?{uantity Io tbe ear, but as monosyllables. Israel, there. 
 ore, ought always, in deliberate and solemn speaking, to 
 be beard in three ayllablea. Tbe same may be observed ol 
 JlopA^ci and MiehaeL 
 
 t [Jairua. — Our author bad accented tbia word Ja't-rut. 
 and would pronounce it Ja'e^rus; but be is wrong beyoni 
 all dispute. Tbe Greek name is 'laciimc, — Trou.o>i.1

 * BaphaeU — Tbia word baa uniformly tbe accent on 
 tbe first syllable throughout Milton, though Greecized by 
 *Pa0aj)X i but the quantity is not so invariably settled by 
 bim ; for, in his Paradise Lost, he makes it four times of 
 three syllables, and twice of two. What is observed under 
 Israel is applicable to this word. Colloquially, we may 
 pronounce it in two, aa if written Ri^hel j but, in deliberate 
 uid solemn speaking or reading, we ought to make tbe two 
 last vowels be beard separately and distinctly. The same 
 may be observed of Michael, which Milton, in his Paradise 
 Loatj uses six times as a word of three syllables^ and 
 eighteen times as a word of two only. 
 
 f Sa&actAoni — Some, says tbe editor of Labbe, place tbe 
 accent on the antepenultimate syllable of this word, and 
 others on tbe penultimate : this last pronunciation, ho says, 
 bi most agreeable to tbe Hebrew word, the penultimate of 
 wbicb is not only long, but accented ; and, as this word is 
 Hebrew, it is certainly tbe preferable pionunciation. 
 
 l Sabaoth. — This word should not be confounded in ita 
 pronunciation with Sabbath^ a word of so different a sig- 
 nification. Sabaoth ought to be beard in three syllables, 
 by keeping the a and o separate and distinct. This, it 
 must be confessed, is not very easy to do, but is absolutely 
 necessary to prevent a very gross confusion of ideas, and 
 * perversion of the aenae. — [According to tbe Masoretic 
 points, the word ia Sat-a'oth, — Tbollofi. See Babaoth, 
 In the Dictionary. — Editob.] 
 
 A Siitiin. — There is some dispute, among the learned, about 
 the quantity of the second syllable of this word, when Latin 
 n Greek, as may be seen in Labbe, but none about tbe first. 
 This is acknowledged to be abort ; and tbis has induced 
 •boae critics who have great knowledge of Latin, and very 
 little of their own language, to pronounce the firat syllable 
 abort in English, as if written Sattan. It these gentlemen 
 knve n3t perused tbe Frmeiples of Pronundatunt. prefixed to 
 IIP 
 
 tbe CritJeoZ iVofttfun«£nfi>utlonapy,l would take the iberty 
 of referring them to what la there aaid, for full satisfaction 
 for whatever relates to deriving English quantity from tba 
 Latin. But, for those who have not an opportunity of in- 
 specting that work, it may, perhaps, be suflicient to observe, 
 that no analogy ia more universal than that which, in a 
 Latin word of two syllables, with but one consonant in the 
 middle, and tbe accent on the first syllable, leads us to proF 
 nounce that syllable long. This is, likewise, the genuin* 
 pronunciation of English words of the same form ; and, 
 where it haa been counteracted, we find a- miserable at- 
 tempt to foUow the Latin quantity in the English word, 
 which we entirely neglect in the Latin itself. (See /nftv 
 duction, page 645.) Cato and Plato are instances where we 
 make the vowel a long in English where it is short in Latin, 
 and eaUgo and toffita where we make the a and o in the first, 
 syllable short in English when it is long in Latin. Thus, it' 
 a word of two syllables, with one consonant in tbe middle, 
 and tbe accent on the first, which, according to our own 
 vernacular analogy, we should pronounce as we do Cat* 
 and Plato^ with the first vowel long, — if this word, isay, 
 happen to be derived from a word of three syllables in Lat 
 in, with the first short, this is looked upon as a good reason 
 for shortening the first syllable of the English word^as in 
 fiA^, placid, tepid, &.C, though we violate this rule in tbe 
 pronunciation of the Latin words eatigo, eogito, &c., which, 
 according to this analogy, ought to be caU-iTgo, cogerirto^ &c 
 with the first syllable long. 
 
 This pedantry, which ought to have a harsher title, haa 
 considerably hurt the sound of our language, by introducing 
 into it too many short vowels, and consequently rendering 
 it less flowing and sonorous. The tendency of the penulti- 
 mate accent to open and lengthen tbe first vowel in dissyl- 
 lables, with but one consonant in the middle, in some mea^ 
 ure counteracts the shortening tendency of two consonants, 
 and the almost invariable shortening tend'ency of the ante- 
 penultimate accent ; but this anali gy> ^ bicb seems to be

 the genuine operation of nature, is violated by these igno- 
 rant critics from tbe pitiful ambition of appearing to under- 
 ■tand Latin. As the first syllable, therefore, of tbe word in 
 question, has its first vowel pronounced short, for such mis- 
 erable reasons as have been shown, and this short pronun- 
 eiation does not seem to be general, as may be seen under 
 Um word in tbe Critical Pronoujunng Dictionary^ we ought 
 ee^taicly to incline to that pronunciation which is so agreea- 
 ble to the analogy of our own language, and which is, at 
 the same time, so much more pleasing to the ear. — [What- 
 ever may be tbe analogy of English, it is clear that the true 
 pronunciation is Sat'an, Neither are caligo and cogito pro- 
 nounced as tbe author states them to be. In most schools, 
 the long vowels retain their proper sound. — Trollopk. 
 Ctk^'go. not Cal'i-go, See Satan, in tbe Dictionary 
 
 EOITOIUJ 
 
 • Stba,— This word, according to tbe present general 
 rule of pronouncing these words, ought to have the accent 
 on the second syllable, as it is Gnecized by SiAfja ; but Mil- 
 ton, who understood its derivation as well as the present 
 race of critics, has given it tbe antepenultimate accent, as 
 innrf> agreeable to the general analogy of accenting English 
 Vordd of the same form : — 
 
 " Or if Sion hill 
 
 Delight tbee more, or SHaa^a brook, that flowed 
 
 Fast by the oracle of God." 
 If criticism ought not to overturn settled usages, surely,when 
 that usage is sanctioned by such a poet as Milton, it ought 
 Dot to be looked upon as a license, but an authority. With 
 Mapect to the quantity of tbe first syllable, analogy requires 
 
 that, if the accent be on it, it should be short. (See It ^^ 
 prefixed to tbe Greek and Latin Proper Names, Rule }■ .; 
 — [Milton can be no authority against positive fact. O'ue 
 Greek name is decisive Bee our author's next note - 
 TEoia.oPE.] [SU'o-a, a. tc r.] 
 
 t^ Sinai — If we pronounce this word after the Hebrew, 
 it is three syllables; if after tbe Greek, Stva, two oni^; 
 though it must be confessed that the liberty allowed to poets 
 of increasing the end of a line with one, and sometimes 
 two, syllables, renders their authority, in this case, a 
 little equivocal. Labbe adopts the former pronunciation, 
 but general usage seems to prefer the latter ; and, if we a.- 
 most universally follow the Greek in other cases, why nit 
 in this ? Milton adopts the Greek : — 
 
 " Sing, heavenly muse ! that on the secret top 
 Of Oreb or of Sinai didst inspire 
 
 That shepherd " 
 
 " God, from the mount of Shun, whose gray top 
 Shall tremble, be, descending, will himself. 
 In thunder, lightning, and loud trumpets* sound^ 
 Ordain them laws." p^ ^^^ ^ ^^^ ^ g^_ 
 
 We ought not, indeed, to lay too much stress on tbe qum^ 
 tity of Milton, which is often so different in tbe same word , 
 but these are the only two passages in bis Paradise Lost 
 where this word is used ; and, as he has made the sama 
 letters a diphthong in Asmadai^ it is highly probable ba 
 judged that Sinai ought to be pronounced in two syUablee 
 (See Rules prefixed to this Vocabulary, No 5.)

ADVEETISEMENT. 
 
 After the many learned pens which have been employed on the subject of the following Obse. 
 rations, the author would have been much ashamed of obtruding his humble opinion on so delicato 
 % point, had he not flattered himself that he had taken a material circumstance into the account; 
 which had been entirely overlooked by almost every writer he had met with. 
 
 It is not a little astonishing, that, when the nature of the human voice forme bo great a part of 
 the inquiry into accent and quantity, its most marking distinctions should haT** been so little at 
 tended to. From a perusal of every writer on the subject,* one would be led to suppose that high 
 and low, loud and, soft, and quick and slow, were the only modifications of which the voice was 
 susceptible ; and that the inflections of the voice, which distinguish speaking from singing, did not 
 exist. Possessed, therefore, of this distinction of sounds, the author at least brings something new 
 into the inquiry; and if, even with this advantage, he should fail of throwing light on the subject, 
 he is sure he shall be entitled to the indulgence of the learned, as they fully understand the diiE 
 culty of the question. 
 
 * The only exception to this general assertion is Mr. 
 Steele, the author of *' Prosodia Rationalis ; " but the de- 
 sign of this gentleman is not so much to illustrate the ac- 
 cent and quantity of the Greek language as to prove the 
 possibility of forming a notation of speaking sounds for our 
 own, and of reducing them to a musical scale, and accom- 
 panying them with instruments. The attempt is undoubt- 
 edly laudable, but no further useful than to show the im- 
 possibility of it by the very method he has taken to explain 
 * i for it Is wrapped up in such an impenetrable cloud of 
 
 music as to be unintelligible to any but musicians ; and the 
 distinctions of sound are so nice and numerous as to dis- 
 courage the most persevering student from laboring to un- 
 derstand him. Afler all, what light can we expect will be 
 thrown on this subject by one who, notwithstanding the 
 infinitesimal distinctions he makes between similar sounds, 
 says that the u in u^hjj and the e in met and ^et, are diph* 
 thongs ; that the a m may is long, and the same letter in 
 nation short ; and that the u in you, use, Slc. ia always acuto>

PREPARATORY OBSERVATIOINIS. 
 
 A* a perusal of the Obserrations on Greek and Latin Ac- 
 cent tt-d (Quantity requires a more intimate acquaintance 
 With the nature of the voice than is generally brought to 
 the study of that subject, it may not be improper to lay be- 
 fore the reader such an explanation of speaking sounds as 
 may enable him to distinguish between high and loud, soft 
 and low, forcibleness and length, and feebleness and short- 
 ness, which are so often confounded, and which conse- 
 quently produce such confusion and obscurity among our 
 best prosodlsts. 
 
 But, as describing such sounds upon paper as have no 
 definite terms appropriated to them, like those of music, is 
 a new and difficult task, the reader must be requested to 
 give as nice an attention as possible to those sounds and in- 
 flections of voice, which spontaneously annex themselves to 
 Certain forms of speech, and which, from their familiarity, 
 are apt to pass unnoticed. But if experience were out of 
 the question, and we were only acquainted with the organic 
 'ormation of human sounds, we must necessarily distinguish 
 Mem into five kinds ; namely, the monotone, or one sou-d 
 continuing a perceptible time in one note, which is the casi' 
 with all musical sounds ; a sound beginning low and slid- 
 ing higher, or beginning high and sliding lower, without 
 any perceptible intervals, which is essential to all speaking 
 Bounds. The two Icist may be called simple slides or inflec- 
 tions ; and these may be so combined as to begin with that 
 which rises, and end with that which falls, or to begin with 
 that which falls, and end with that which rises ; and if this 
 combination of different inflections be pronounced with one 
 impulse or explosion of the voice, it may not improperly 
 be called the circumflex, or compound inflection ; and this 
 monotone, the two simple and the two componnd inflec- 
 tions, are the only modifications, independent on the pas- 
 sions, of which the human voice is susceptible. 
 
 The Different States of the Voice 
 
 The modifications of the voice, which have just been 
 enumerated, may be called absolute, because they cannot 
 be converted into each other, but must remain decidedly 
 what they are ; while different states of the voice, as high 
 and low, loud and soft, quick and slow, are only compara- 
 tive terms, since what is high in one case may be low in an- 
 other, and so of the rest. Beside, therefore, the modifica- 
 tions of voice which have been described, the only varieties 
 remaining, of which the human voice is capable, except 
 those produced by the passions, are high, low, loud, soft, 
 quick, slow, forcible, and feeble. Though high and loud, 
 and low and soft, are frequently confounded, yet, when 
 considered distinctly, their difference is easily understood ; 
 as, if we strike a large bell with a deep tone, though it gives 
 a very loud tone, it'will still be a low one ; and, if we strike 
 Ismail bell with a high tone, it will still be a high tone, 
 though the stroke be ever so soft. A quick tone, in music. 
 Is that in which the same tone continues but a short time, 
 and a slow tone where it continues longer ; but in speak- 
 ing, a quick tone is that when the slide rises from low to high, 
 or falls from high to low, in a short time, and a slow tone 
 the reverse ; while forcible and feeble seem to be severally 
 compounded of two of these simple states ; that is, force 
 seems to be loudness and quickness, either in a high or low 
 tone also: and feebleness seems to be softness and slowness, 
 either in a high or a low tone likewise. As to the tones of 
 the passions, which are so many and various, these, in the 
 opinion of one of the best judges in the kingdom, are qual- 
 ities of sound, occasioned by certain vibrations of the organs 
 of speech, independent on high, low, loud, soft, quick, slow, 
 forcible, or feeble ; which last may not improperly be called 
 different guuTitities of sound. 
 
 It may not, perhaps, be unworthy of observation, how 
 "ew are these principles, which, by a different combination 
 with each other, produce that almost unbounded variety of 
 which human speech consists. The different quantities of 
 Bound, as these different states of the voice may be called, 
 may be combined so as to form new varieties with any other 
 that are not opposite to them. Thus high may be combined 
 With either loud cr soft, quick or slow j that is, a high note 
 
 may be sound^ either in a loud or soft tone, anu a lovr r.on 
 may be sounded either in a loud or a soft tone also, and eacj 
 of these tones may be pronounced either in a longer or a 
 shorter time j that is, more slowly or quickly ; while forcible 
 seems to imply a degree of loudness andquickness ; and fee- 
 ble, a degree of softness and slowness, either in a high or a 
 low tone. These combinations may, perhaps, be more easilv 
 conceived by classing them in contrast with each other • 
 
 High, loud, quick. 
 Low, soft, slow 
 
 Forcible may be high, loud, and quick , or low, loud, and 
 quick. Feeble may be high, soft, and slovt? ; or low, soft, and 
 slow. 
 
 The different combinations of these states may be ihui 
 represented : — 
 
 High, loud, quick, forcible Low, loud, quick, forcible 
 
 High, loud, slow. Low, loud, slow. 
 
 High, soft, quick. Low, soft, quick. 
 
 High, soft, slow, feeble. Low, soft, slow, feeble. 
 
 When these states of the voice are combined with the five 
 modifications of voice above mentioned, the varieties be- 
 come exceedingly numerous, but far from being incalcula 
 bfii. Perhaps they may amount tfor I leave it to arithme 
 ticiana to reckon them exactly) to that number into which 
 the ancients distinguished the notes of mus^, which, if I 
 remember nght, was about two hundred. 
 
 These different states of the voice, if justly distinguished 
 and associatedj may serve to throw some light on the nature 
 of accent. If, as Mr. Sheridan asserts, the accented syllable 
 be only louder, and not higher, than the other syllables, ev- 
 ery polysyllable is a perfect monotone. If the accented syl- 
 lable be higher than the rest, which is the general opinion 
 both among the ancients and moderns, this is true only 
 when a word is pronounced alone, and without reference 
 to any other word ; for when suspended at a comma, con- 
 cluding a negative member followed by an affirmative, or 
 asking a question beginning with a verb, if the unaccented 
 syllable or syllables be the last, they are higher than the ac- 
 cented syllable, though not so loud. So that the true defi- 
 nition of accent is this: — If the word bo pronounced aloTie^ 
 and withoiit any reference to other words, the accented syllable m 
 both higher and louder than the other syllables either before or 
 after it ; but, if the word he suspended, as at the comma, if U 
 end a negative member followed by an affirmative, or-\fit con- 
 clude an interrogative sentence beginning with a verb, in each 
 case the accented syllable is louder and higher than the -preceding^ 
 and louder and lower than the succeeding syllables. This will 
 be sufficiently exemplified in the following pages. In the 
 mean time, it may be observed, that if a degree of swiftness 
 enter into the definition of force, and the accented syllable 
 be the most forcible, it follows that the accent does not 
 necessarily lengthen the syllable, and that if it fall on along 
 vowel, it is only a longer continuation of that force with 
 which it quickly or suddenly commenced ; for as the voice 
 is an efflux of air, and air is a fluid like water, we may 
 conceive a sudden gush of this fluid to continue either a 
 longer or a shorter time, and thence form an idea of long or 
 short quantity. If, however, this definition of force, as ap- 
 plied to accent, should be erroneous or imaginary, let it be 
 remembered it is an attempt to form a precise idea of what 
 has hitherto been left in obscurity j and that, if such an 
 attempt should fail, it may at least induce some curious 
 inquirer to show where it fails, and to substitute something 
 better in its stead. 
 
 If these observations be just, they may serve to show how 
 ill-founded is the opinion of that infinite variety of voice o( 
 which speaking sounds consist. That a wonderful variety 
 may arise from the key in which we speak, from the force 
 or feebleness with which we pronounce, and from the tinc- 
 ture of passion or sentiment we infuse into the words, is 
 acknowledged ; but, speak in what key we will, pronounce 
 with what force or feebleness we please, and infuse what* 
 ever tincture of passion or sentiment we can imagine into 
 the words, still they must necessarily be pronounced witi! 
 one of the foregoing modifications of the voice. Let us gi 
 into wli a £ver twists or '.igzags of tone we will, we canob

 go out of the boundaries of these inflections. These are the 
 outlines on which all the force and coloring of speech is l:iid j 
 and these may be jusUy said to form the first principles of 
 speaking sounds 
 
 Exemplification, of the Different Modificatio-tis of the 
 Voice. The Monotone, the Rising Inflection, the 
 Falling Injiection, the Rising Circumfiex, and the 
 Falling Circumjiex, 
 
 Though we seldom hear such a variety in reading or 
 ipeakine as the sense and aatisfartion of tiie ear deman*!, 
 yet we hardly ever hear a proniinciiition perfectly monoto- 
 nous. In former times, we might have found it in the mid- 
 night prununciation of the Bellnian's verses at Christmas ; 
 and now the Town Crier, as Shakspeare calls him, some- 
 times gives us a specimen of the monotonous, in his vocif- 
 erous exordium — '* Tliis la to give notice! " The clerk of 
 a court of, justice also promulgates the will of the court 
 hy that barbarous metamorphosis of the old French word 
 Oyiz ! Oyez! Hear ye I Hear ye ! into O yes .' O yes! in a 
 perfect sameness of voice. But however ridiculous the 
 monotone in speaking may be in the above-mentioned 
 characters, in certain solemn and sublime passages in poe- 
 try it has a wonderful propriety, and by the uncommonness 
 of its use, it adds greatly to that vari-ety with which the ear 
 is so much delighted. 
 
 This monotone may be defined to be a continuation or 
 sameness of sound upon certain words or syllables, exactly 
 like that produced by repeatedly striking a bell : such a 
 stroke may be louder or softer, but continues in exactly the 
 game pitch. To express this tone, a horizontal line may be 
 adopted ; — such a one as is generally used to signify a long 
 ■yllable in verse. This tone may be very properly intro- 
 duced in some passages of Akenside's Pleasures of Imaoina- 
 fton, where he so finely describes the tales of horror related 
 by the village matron to her infant audience : — 
 
 " Breathing astonishment I of witching rhymes 
 And evil spirits ; of the death-bed call 
 To him who robbed the widow, and devoured 
 The orphan's portion ; of unquiet souls 
 Risen from the grave to ease the heavy guilt 
 Of deeds in life concealed; of shapes that walk 
 At dead of night, and clank theii chains, and wave 
 ''Hie torch of hell around the oaurderer's bed.'* 
 
 If the words " of shapes that walk at lead . < night " fc« 
 pronounced in a monotone, it will add wonderf ally to the 
 variety and solemnity of the passage. 
 
 The rising inflection is that upward turn of the voice we 
 generally use at the comma, or in asking a question begin 
 ning with a verb ; as, "N6, say you? did he say N6?" Thii 
 is commonly called a suspension of voice, and may not im- 
 properly be marked by the acute accent, thus ( ' ). 
 
 The CiUing inflection is generally used at the semicolon 
 and colon, and must necessarily be heard in answer to the 
 former question : *' He did; he said Nd." This inflection, 
 in a lower tone of voice, is adopted at the end of almost 
 every sentence, except the definite quesiinn. or tliat wliich 
 begins with the verb. To express this Inflection, the grave 
 accent seems adapted, thus ( ). 
 
 The rising circumflt-x begins with the falling inflection 
 and ends with the rising upon the same syllable, and seema 
 as it were, to twist the voice upwards. This inflection 
 may be exemplified by the drawling tone we give to soma 
 words spoken ironically ; as the word Clodiits, in Cicero's 
 Oration for Milo. This turn of voice maybe marked in this 
 manner ( » ) : — 
 
 " But It is foolish in us to compare Drusus Africanus and 
 ourselves with ClSdius ; all our other calamities were toler 
 able, but no one can patiently bear the death of ClSdius." 
 
 The falling circumflex begins with the ri&;mg inflection, 
 and ends with the falling upon the same syllable, and seemi 
 to twist the voice downwards. This inflection seems gen- 
 erally to be used iu ironical reproach; as on the word you, 
 in the following example : — 
 
 " So, then, yoQ are the author of this conspiracy against 
 me ? It is to yo^ that I am indebted for all t)ie mischief that 
 has befallen me ?" 
 
 If to these inflections we add the distinction of a phrasA 
 into accentual portions, as, 
 
 "Prosperity | giins friends [ and adversity | tries them," | 
 and pronounce ^cntls like an unaccented syllable of gains^ 
 and like an unaccented syllable of adversity^ and Viem like 
 an unaccented syllable of tries, we have a clear idea of tha 
 relative forces of all the syllables, and approximate closely 
 to a notation of speaking sounds.

 GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT, &C. 
 
 1 Iw order to fonn an idea of the Accent and Q,uantity 
 •f the dead languages, it will he necessary first to under- 
 Btan i what we mean by tlie accent and quantity of our own 
 language;* and as quantity is supposed by some to regu- 
 late the accent in English as well as in Greek and Latin,' it 
 will be necesaarj first to Inquire what we mean by long 
 and short vowels, or, as some are pleased to term them, 
 syllables. 
 
 2. In English, then, we have no conception of quantity 
 arising from anything but the nature of the vowels, as they 
 are pronounced long or short. Whatever retardation of voice 
 in the sound of a vowel there might be in Greek or Latin 
 before two consonants, and those often twin consonants, 
 we find every vowel in this situation as easily pronounced 
 Ghort as long; and the quantity is found to arise from the 
 length or shortness we give to the vowel, and not from any 
 obstruction of sound occasioned by the succeeding conso- 
 nants. Thus the a in banish^ banner^ and banter^ is short in 
 all these words, and long in paper, taper^ and vapor; the i 
 long in miser, minory and mitre, and shoit in miserii, middle, 
 and 7imtress ; and so of the rest of the vowels ; and though 
 the accent is on the first syllable of all these words, we see 
 It perfectly compatible with either long or short quantity. 
 
 3. As a further proof of this, we may observe, that unac- 
 
 * It is not surprising that the accent and quantity of the 
 ancients should be so obscure and mysterious, when two 
 Buch learned men of our own natioTii as Mr. Forster and Dr. 
 Gaily differ about the very existence of quantity in our own 
 language. The former of these gentleirlen maintains, that 
 "the English have both accent and quantity, and that no 
 language can be without them ; " but the latter ass ^rts, that, 
 " in the modern languages, the pronunciation doth not de- 
 pend upon a natural quantity, and therefore a greater liberty 
 maybe allowed in the placing of accents." And in another 
 place, speaking of the northern languages of Europe, he 
 says, that " it was made impossible to think of establishing 
 quantity for a foundation of harmony, in pronunciation. 
 Hence it became necessary to lay aside the consideration of 
 quantity, and to have recourse to accents." " In these and 
 Bome other passages, that writer," says Forster, " seems to 
 look upon accents as alone regulating the pronunciation of 
 English, and quantity as excluded from it." — Forster^s Es- 
 say on Acc&nt and Quantity, p. 28. 
 
 As a furthi r proof of thf total want of ear in a great Greek 
 scholar. Lord Monboddo says, " Our accents differ from the 
 Greek in two material respects j first, they are not appropri- 
 ated to particular syllables of the word, but are laid upon 
 different syllables, according to the fancy of the speaker, or 
 rather as it happens ; for I believe no man speaking English 
 does, by choice, give an accent to one syllable of a word 
 difi'erent from that whicn he gives to another." 
 
 "Two things, therefore, that, in my opinion, constitute 
 our verse, are the number of syllables, and the mixture of 
 loud and soft, according to certain rules. As to quantity, it 
 is certainly not essential to our verse, and far less is accent." 
 See Steele's Prosodia Rationalis, p. 103, 110. 
 
 t A late very learned and ingenious writer tdls us that 
 our accent and quantity aJvvays coincide ; he objects to him- 
 self the words siirnify, magnify, qualify, &c., where the final 
 Byllable is longer than the accented syllable ; but this, he as- 
 serts, with the greatest probability, was not the accentuation 
 of our ancestors, who placed the accent on the last syllable, 
 which is naturally the longest. But this sufficiently proves 
 ttiat the accent does not necessarily lengthen the syllable it 
 
 cented vowels are frequently pronounced long, when In 
 accented vowels are short. Thus the o in Cicero, in English 
 as well as in Latin pronunciation, is long, though unaccent- 
 ed ; and the i short, though under the accent. The same 
 may be observed of the name of our English poet Ldlo. 
 So in our English words conclave, reconcile, chamomile^ and 
 the substantives cdnfine, perfume, and a thousand others, 
 we see the first accented syllable short, and the final unac- 
 cented syllable long. Let those who contend that the acute 
 accent and long quantity are inseparable, call the first vow- 
 els of these words long, if they please ; but by those whis 
 make their ear, and not their eye, the judge of quantity, 
 when compared with the last vowels, they will always be 
 esteemed short. + 
 
 4. Tlie next object of inquiry is, What is the nature of 
 English accent? Mr. Sheridan, J with his usual decision, 
 tells us, that accent is only a greater force upon one syllable 
 than anothej, without any relation to the elevation or de- 
 pression of the voice ; while almost every other writer on 
 the subject makes the elevation or depression of the voice 
 inseparable from accent. When words are pronounced in 
 a monotone, as the bellman repeats his verses, the crier pro- 
 nounces his advertisement, or the clerk of a church gives 
 out the psalm, we hear an ictus or accentual force upon the 
 
 falls on ; that is, if length consist in pronouncing the vowel 
 long, which is the natural idea of long quantity, and not in 
 the duration of the voice upon a short vowel occasioned by 
 the retardation of sounding two succeeding consonants, 
 which is an idea, though sanctioned by antiquity, that has 
 no foundation in nature ; for who, that is not prejudiced by 
 early opinion, can suppose the first syllable of elbow to be 
 long, and the last short? — See Essay on Greek and Latin 
 Prosodies : printed for Robson. 
 
 J The term (accent) with us has no reference to inflec 
 tions of the voice or musical notes, but only means a pecu- 
 liar manner of distinguishing one syllable of a word from 
 the rest. — Lectures on Elocution, quarto edition, p. 41. 
 
 " To illustrate the difference between the accent of the 
 ancients and that of ours," says Mr. Sheridan, " let us sup- 
 pose the same movements heat upon the drum, and sounded 
 by the trumpet. Take, for instance, a succession of words 
 where the accent is on every second syllable, which forms 
 an iambic movement ; the only way by which a drum 
 (as it is incapable of any change of notes) can mark that 
 movement, is by striking a soft note first, followed by one 
 more forcible, and so in succession. Let the same move- 
 ment be sounded by the trumpet, in an alternation of liigh 
 and low notes, and it will give a distinct idea of the ditler 
 ence between the English accents and those of the an 
 cients." — Mrt of Reading, p. 75. 
 
 I am sorry to find one of the most in^enjous, learned, and 
 candid inquirers into this subject of the same opinion as 
 Mr. Sheridan. The authority of Mr. Nares would have 
 gone near to shake my own opinion, if I had not recoilecled 
 that this gentleman confesses tie cannift perceive the least 
 of a diphthongal sound in the i in strike, whicli Dr. Wallia, 
 he observes, excludes from the simple sounds of the vowels. 
 For if the definition of a vowel sound be, that it is formed 
 hy one position of the organs, nothing can be more percep- 
 tible than the double position of them in the present case 
 and that the noun eye, which is perfectly equivalent to t.i« 
 pronoun /, begins with the sound of a in father, and en la 
 in that of e in equal. — See Nares's English Ortkg^py, \ p 
 2, 144.

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCE^T 
 
 leveral nccented syllables, which distinguishes them fVom 
 'be others, but no more variety of tone than if we were to 
 beat the syllables of the same words upon a drum, which 
 inuy be. louder or softer, but cannot be either higher or low- 
 er This is pronouncing according to Mr. Shrridan's defi- 
 nit on of accent ; and this pronunciation certainly comes 
 under the definition of singing; — it is singing ill, indeed, 
 as Julius Caesar said of a bad reader, but still it is singing, 
 and therefore essentially different from speaking i for in 
 speaking, the voice is continually sliding upwards ur down- 
 wards, and in singing, it is leaping, as it were, from a lower 
 to a higher, or from a higher to a lower note, — the only two 
 possible ways of varying the human voice, with respect to 
 elevation or depression ; — so that when we are told by some 
 writers on this subject, that the speaking of the ancients was 
 afcinrfof singing, we are led into the error of supposing that 
 sins^ing and speaking differ only in degree, and not in kind, 
 whereas they are just as different as motion and rest.* 
 
 5. Wheni ver, in speaking, we adopt a singingtone, (which 
 was formerly the case with Puritaw preachers,) it differs es- 
 sentially from speaking, and can be pricked down upon pa- 
 per, and be played upon a violin ; and whenever, in singing, 
 we adopt a speaking tone, the slide of this tone is so essen- 
 tially distinct from singing, as to shock the ear like the 
 harshes. discord. Those, therefore, who rank recitative as 
 a medium between singing and speaking, are utterly igno- 
 rant of tlie nature of both. Recitative is just as much sing- 
 ing as what is called nir, or any other species of musical 
 composition.. 
 
 6. If we may have recourse to the eye, the most dis- 
 tinct and definite of all our senses, we may define musical 
 notes to be horizontal lines, and speaking tones oblique 
 lines; the one rises from low to high, or falls from high 
 to low, by distinct intervals, as the following straight lines 
 
 to the eye j — — the other slides upwards or down- 
 
 wards, as the following oblique lines : 
 
 the one more different to the eye than the other is to the 
 ear. Those, therefore, who gravely tell us that the enun- 
 ciation of the apcients was a kind of musical speaking, im- 
 pose upon us with words to which we can annex no ideas ; 
 and when they attempt to illustrate this musico-speaking 
 
 * It is not denied, that the slides in speaking may some- 
 times leap, as it were, from a low to a high, or from a high 
 to a low note ; that is, that there may be a very considera- 
 ble interval between the end of one of those slides and the 
 beginning of another ; as between the high note in the word 
 no, in the question. Did he say J^o ? and the low note which 
 the same word may adopt in the answer, JVo, he did not 
 But the sound which composes the note of speaking, as it 
 may be called, and the sound which composes the note of 
 tinging, are essentially disiinct ; the formt-r is in continual 
 motion, while the latter is for a given time at rest. — See 
 Note to sect. 23. 
 
 I How the ancients could make every monosyllable ac- 
 cented, (that is, according to their definition of accent, pro- 
 nounced with anelevated tone of voice,) without telling us 
 how this elevation happened, whether it were an elevation 
 of one part of the syllafile above the other, or the elevation 
 of one word or syllable above other words or syllables, — 
 how these distinctions, I say, so absolutely necessary to a 
 precise idea of accent, should never be once mentioned, 
 can be resolved into nothing but that attachment to words 
 without ideas, and that neglect of experiment, which have 
 involved the moderns in the same mist of ignorance and 
 error. 
 
 I That excellent scholar, Mr. Forster, furnishes an ad- 
 ditional instance of the possibility of unitinf: a deep and 
 accurate knowledge of what is called the prosody of the 
 ancients, with a total ignorance of the accent and quantity 
 of his own language. After a thousand examples to show 
 how the English i.'^ susceptible of every kind of metre among 
 the ancients, (Ihimgh in all his examples he substitutes Eng- 
 lish accevt for Greek and Latin quantity,) he proceeds lo 
 Bhow the difference between the English, the Irish, and 
 bhe Scotch pronunciation. 
 
 *' The English join the acute and long time together, as 
 m llbSrtfi, y short. The Scotch observe our quantity, and 
 liter uur accent, llbSrty', y short. When I say they observe 
 jur quantity, I mean they pronounce the same syllable long 
 which we do, hut they make it longer. In respect to the 
 jircumflex with which their pronunciation abounds, it may 
 be remarked, that it is not formed as the Greek, Latin, and 
 English, of an acute and grave, but of a grave and acute: 
 (ids, r8s, round, English : r6und, Scotch. 
 
 *' The Irish observe our quantity and accent too, but with

 pronunciation by referring us to the Scotch and otn«r dia 
 lects, they give us a rhetorical flourish instead of a real ex 
 ample; for hcwever the Scotch and other speakers may 
 drawl out the accent, and give the vowel a greater length 
 than the English, it is always in an oblique, and not In a 
 straight line; for the moment the straight line of sound, oi 
 the monotone, is adopted, we hear something essentially 
 distinct from speaking. 
 
 7. As high and low, loud and soft, forcible and feeble, are 
 comparative terms, words of one syllable pronounced alone, 
 and without relation to other words or syllables, cannot be 
 said to have any accent.! The only distinction to whicli 
 such words are liable, is an elevation or depression of voice, 
 when we compare the beginning with the end of the word 
 or syllable. Thus a monosyllable, considered singly, risen 
 from a lower to a higher tone in the question JV*d ? which 
 may, therefore, be called the acute accent; and falls from a 
 higher to a lower tone, upon the same word, in the answer 
 JVd, which may, therefore, be called the grave. But when 
 the accented word or syllable is associated with unaccented 
 words or syllables, the acute accent is louder and higher 
 than the preceding, and louder and lower than the succeed- 
 ing syllables, as in the question, Satisfactoi-Uy^ did he aayl 
 and the grave accent both louder and higher than either the 
 preceding or succeeding syllables, in the answer, He said 
 satisjd.ctorily. Tliose who wish to see this explained more 
 at large may consult Elements of Elocution, page 183, or 
 Rketorical Orammar, ',id edition, p. 77. 
 
 8. This idea of accent is so evident, upon experiment, at 
 to defy contradiction ; and y^■t, such is the general igno- 
 rance of the modifications of the voice, that we find those 
 who pretend to explain the nature of accent the most accu 
 rately, when they give us an example of the accent in any 
 particular word, suppose it always pronounced rtftirmatively 
 and alone ;^ that is, as if words were always pronounced 
 with one inflection of voice, and as if there were no differ- 
 ence with respect to the nature of the accent, whether the 
 word is an affirmation or a question, in one part of the sen* 
 tence or in another ; when nothing can be more palpable, to 
 a correct ear, than that the accents of the word voUmtaryf 
 in the following sentences, are essentially difierent : — 
 
 His resignation was vdluntanj. 
 
 He made a vdluntary resignation. 
 In both, the accent is on the first syllable. Ln the first sea 
 tence, the accented syllable is higher and louder than the 
 
 Mr. Forster falls exactly into the mistake of Mr. Sheridan 
 though he has a quite different idea of accent. He suppose! 
 liberty always pronounced by an Englishman in one man 
 ner, and that as a single word, or at tJie end of a sentence; 
 he has not the least notion of the different inflection the 
 same word may have, accordingly as the accent is differ- 
 ently inflected, as we may plainly perceive in the following 
 question: "Is it liberty or licentiousness you plead for?" 
 where the English raise the voice on the latter syllable, as 
 the Scotch tno frequently do. With respect to the quantity 
 of the first syllable, which Mr. Forster saj s the Scotch pre- 
 serve in this word, I must dissent from him totally ; foi 
 they preserve the accent, and alter the quantity, by pro- 
 nouncing the first syllable as if written Ur.bcriy. If Mr 
 Forster call this syllable long in the Eniilish pronunciatioB 
 of it, I should be glad to be told of a shorter accented sylla- 
 ble than the first of liberty ; if he say the accent being on i' 
 renders it long, I answer, this subverts his whule system 
 for if accent falling on any vowel make it long, the quan- 
 tity of the Greek and Latin is overturned, and cano, in the 
 first line of the iEneid, must be a spondee. 
 
 This is the consequence of entering on the discussion o/ 
 a difficult point, without first defining the tevms; — nothing 
 but confusion and contradiction can ensue. 
 
 But I must give this writer great credit for his saying tna 
 Scotch pronunciation abounds with the circumflex ; for'thia 
 is really the case; and the very circumflex opposite to the 
 Greek and Latin, beginning with the grave, and ending 
 with the acute. I am not, however, a little astonished that 
 this did not show him how deficient the ancients were in 
 this modification of the voice ; which, though used loo fre- 
 quently in Scotland, is just as much in the human voice aa 
 the other circumflex, and may be, and is often, used in 
 England, with the utmost propriety. With respect to the 
 common circumflex on Gri-ek, Latin, and some French 
 words, the accentual use of it is quite unknown, and it only 
 stands for long quantity; but both these circumflexes are 
 demonstrable upon the human voice in speaking, and may 
 be made as evident by experiment as the stress of an ac- 
 cented syllable, by pronouncing the word on which it la 
 placed.— See Rketorical Grammar, 3d edit. p. 80. 
 
 I must just take notice of the inaccuracy of Mr. Forster, 
 in saying the last syllable of liberty is short, and yet that i 
 has the circumflex accent: this is contrary to all the prostv 
 dy of antiquity, and contrary to the truth of the case in thii 
 instance ; for it is the length of the first svji.ible, arisinf 
 from the circumflex on it, which distinguislus the Scntcb 
 from tlie English pronunciation

 ^her eyllablen ; and in the second, it is louder and lower 
 han the rest. The same may be observed of the following 
 fueation : — 
 
 Was his resi^ation vdluntary or involuntary! 
 where the first syllable of the word voluntary is louder and 
 lower than the succeeding syllables ; and in the word invol- 
 untary it ia louder and higher. Those who have not ears 
 lufliciently delicate to discern this difference, ought never 
 to open their lips about the acute or grave accent, as they 
 are pleased to call them ; let them speak of accent, as it re- 
 ates to stress only, and not to elevation or depression of 
 voice, and then they may speak intelligibly. 
 
 9. A want of this discernment has betrayed Mr. Forster 
 into (ibscurity and contradiction. To say nothing of his as- 
 serting that the English, Irish, and Scotch accents differ, 
 (where accent cannot possibly mean stress, for then English 
 verse would not be verse in Iruliind and Scotland,) what 
 ■hall we think of hia telling us, that in England, we pro- 
 nounce the word majesty* witJi an acute accent and long 
 quantity upon the first syllable, and the two hst syllables 
 wilJi the grave accent and short quantity ; and that in Scot- 
 land tliis word is pronounced with a grave accent and long 
 quantity on the first syllable, and with an acute accent and 
 Bhi>rt quantity on the last? Now, if by accent be meant 
 fitress, nothing is more evident than that the English and 
 Scotch, with the exception of very few words, place the ac- 
 cent on the -same syllable; but if elevation be included in 
 the idea of accent, it is as evident that the English pro- 
 nounce the first syllable louder and higher than the two last, 
 when they pronounce the word either singly, or as ending 
 a sentence ; as, 
 
 " He spoke against the king's majesty i " 
 and lOuder and lower than the two last, when it is the last 
 accented word but one in a sentence ; as, 
 
 '* He apoke against the m&jcsty of the king ; " 
 or when it is the last word in asking a question, beginning 
 w!i.n a verb ; as, 
 
 " Did he dare to speak against tlie kind's majesty 7 " 
 
 10. Where then is the difference, it will be asked, be- 
 tveen the English and Scotch pronunciation? I answer, 
 precisely in this, that the Scotch are apt to adopt the rising 
 circumflex and long quantity, where the Euftlish use the 
 simple rising inflection and short quantity. Thus in the 
 word majesty^ as well as in every other of the same form, 
 they generi.ily adopt the rising inflection, as in the two last 
 sentences, whether it end a question beginning with a verb, 
 as, " Is this the picture of his majesty 7 " or whether it end 
 an aflSrmative sentence, as, " This is the picture of his maj- 
 esty." And it is the prevalence of this long quantity with 
 tiie rising inflection, that forms the principal difference be- 
 tween the English and Scotch pronunciation. 
 
 11. Having thus endeavored to ascertain the accent and 
 quantity of our own language, let us next inquire into the 
 nature of the accent and quantity of the ancients. f 
 
 12. The long quantity of tlie ancients must arise either 
 from a prolongation of the sound of the vowel, or from that 
 delay of voice which the pronunciaton of two or more 
 consonants in succession are supposed naturally to require. 
 Kow, vowels were said to be either Ion? by nature, or long by 
 position. Those long by nature J were such as were long, 
 though succeeded by a single consonant, as the u in jiatura, 
 and were a sort of exception to the general rule ; for a vowel 
 before a single consonant was commonly short, as in every 
 u in the word tumulus. Those vowels which were long by 
 position were such as were succeeded by two or more con- 
 sonants, as the first o in sponsor; but if the long and short 
 quantity of the ancients was the same distinction of the 
 •ound of the vowel as we make in the words cadence and 
 
 * Would not any one suppose, by Mr. Porster's pro- 
 ducing this word as an example of the English accent, that 
 the English always pronounced it one way, and that as 
 if it ended a declarative sentence ? This ia exactly like the 
 mistake of Priscian, in the word JVaiaro. — See sect. 20, in 
 »he Notes. 
 
 t So much are the critics puzzled to reconcile the tragic 
 kiid comic verses of the ancients to the laws of metre, that 
 K learned writer in the Monthly Reoieio for May, 1762, speak- 
 ing of the corrections of Dr Heath, in his notes or readings 
 of the old Greek tragedians, says,— 
 
 " These emendations are much more excusable than such 
 \s are made merely for the sake of the metre, the rules of 
 which are so extremely vague and various, as they are laid 
 down by the metrical critics, that we will venture to say 
 liny chapter in Robinson Ci-usoe might hk reduced to measure 
 by them. This is not conjecture ; the il ng shall be proved :

 ma^e^ calling the first a long, and the second xhort, then th« 
 a in mater and pater '^ must have been prom unced like oui 
 a in later and latter; and those voweln which weie long by 
 position, as the a in Bacchus and campus^ must have been 
 sounded by the ancients as we hear them In the English 
 words halce and came. 
 
 13. If, therefore, the long quantity of the ancients were 
 no more than a retardation of voice on the consonants, or 
 that duration of sound which an assemblage of consonants 
 is supposed naturally to produce without making any alter- 
 ation in the sound of the vowel, such long quantity as this 
 an English ear has not the least idea of. Unless tl e sound 
 of the vowel be altered, we hai'e not any conception of a 
 long or short syllable ; and tlie first syllables of banish^ baitr 
 Tier, and banter^ have, to our ears, exactly the same quantity 
 
 14. But, if the long quantity of the ancients arose natu- 
 rally from the obstruction the voice meets with in the pro- 
 nunciation of two or more consonants, how does it happea 
 that the preceding consonants do not V.nsthen the vowel as 
 much as those which succeed? Dr. irahy tells us the rea- 
 son of this is, "that the vowel being the most easenti.iI part 
 of the syllable, the voice hastens to seize it ; and in order 
 to do this, it slurs over all the consonants that are placed 
 before it, so that the voice suffers little or no delay. But 
 the case of the consonant that follows is not the same ; it 
 cannot be slurred over,butmust be pronounced full and dis- 
 tinct, otherwise it would run into, and be confounded with. 
 the following syllable. By this means the voice is delayed 
 more in the latter than in the former part of the syllablu, 
 and or' is longer than crfio, and r/v longer than <TfrXj7."J| 
 
 I must own myself at a loss to conctiive the force or thia 
 reasoning. I have always supposed the consonant, when il 
 forms part of a syllable, to be as essential to its sound as the 
 vowel ; nor can X conceive why the latter consonants of a 
 syllable may not be pronounced as rapidly as the former, 
 without running the former syllable into the latter, and thus 
 confounding them together; since no such confusion arisei 
 when we end the first syllable with the vowel, and begin 
 the following syllable with the consonants ; as, pro-crasHno^ 
 pro-stratus, &.C. ; as in this case, there is no consonant to stop 
 the first syllable, and prevent its running into the second ; 
 so that Dr. Gaily seems to have slaiTed over the matter, rath- 
 er than to have explamed it ; but as he is the only writei 
 who has attempted to account for the manner in which quan- 
 tity is produced by consonants, he is entitled to attention. 
 
 15. In the first place, then, in words of more than one syl- 
 lable, but one consonant can belong to the preceding- vowel, 
 as the others must necessarily be considered as belongingto 
 the succeeding- vowel, and, according to Dr. Gaily, must ba 
 hurried over, that the voice may seize its favoritt; letter. As 
 one consonant, therefore, does not naturally produce long 
 quantity, where is the delay, if the other consonants be hur- 
 ried over? and, consequently, where is the long quantity 
 wliich the delay is supposed to produce ? This is like ad(*.- 
 ing two nothings together to produce a something. 
 
 16. But what does he mean by the necessity there is of 
 pronouncing the latter consonant fufl and distinct, that it 
 may not run into, and be 'confounded with, the followina 
 syllable? Must not every consonant be pronounceu fuU 
 and distinct, whether we pronounce it rapidly or slowly 
 whether before or after the vowel? Is not the str in stra- 
 ■men pronounced as full and distinct as the same letters in 
 castra^ castrametor, &c. ? I know there is a shadow of dif- 
 ference by pronouncing the vowel in our short Ensrlish 
 manner, so as to unite with the 5, asJf written ca.?^; biitil 
 wo make the preceding vowel long, as in cane, and, accord- 
 ing to the rules of syllabication laid down by Ramus, Ward, 
 and the Latin grammarians, cany the consonants to the suc- 
 ceeding syllable, as if written caystraij, we find these con- 
 sonants pronounced exactly in the sarne manner; and this

 J If the long quantity of the Greek and Latin arose nat- 
 urally from the retardation of sound occasioned by the suc- 
 ceeding consonants, the long vowels in this situation ought 
 to have been termed long by nature^ and those, long vowela 
 which come before single consonants should have been 
 called long by custom; since it was nothing but custom 
 made the vowel e in decits (honor) short, and in dedo (tr 
 give) long; and the vowel o m ovum (an egg) long, and ia 
 ovo (to triumph) short. 
 
 5 I do ntit here enter into the question concerning th 
 ancient sound of the Latin a, which I am ctmvinced wag 
 like our a in water; but whether it were like the a in paper, 
 father, or loater^ is not of any importance in the present 
 question ; thi; quantity is the same, supposing it to have 
 been any one of them.

 leads us to suppose that douMe consonants were the signs 
 only, and not the elTicients, of lonp quantity ; and that this 
 same long quantity was not simply a duration of sound upon 
 the con'^onants, but exactly what we call long quantity, — a 
 lengthening of the sound by pronouncing the vowel open, 
 as if we were to pronounce the a long in mater^ by sounding 
 't as if written mayt^r; and the same letter short mpater^ as 
 If it were written patter * 
 
 17. The reason of our repugnance to admit of this analo- 
 gy of quantity in the learned langunges is, that a diametri- 
 cally oppnsrte analogy has been adopted in the English, 
 and, I believe, in most modern tongues, — an analogy which 
 makes the vowel long before one consonant, and short be- 
 fore more tlian one. 
 
 18. If, however, the quantity of the ancients lay only in 
 the vowel, which was lengthened and shortened in our 
 manner by altering the sound, how strange must have been 
 their poetical language, and how different from the words 
 taken singly! Thus the word reec, which, taken singly, 
 must have been pronounced with the vowel short, like our 
 English word necky — in composition, as in the line of Virgil, 
 where it is long, 
 
 " Fulgura, nee diri toties arscre cometcc," 
 
 this word must have been pronounced as if written neek; 
 Just as differently aa the words -proper^ of^ manUnd, is, and 
 nan, in the line of Pope, woulil be pronounced by the same 
 rule, 
 
 " The proper study of mankind is man ; " 
 and as if written, 
 
 *' The propeer study ove mane-kind ees maTie." 
 When to this alteration of the quantity, by the means of 
 succeeding consonants, we add that rule, 
 
 *' Finalem caesura brevem producere gaudet," 
 
 which makes the short ordnnbtful vctwel lonir, that either 
 immediately precedes the ccesura, or concludes thi' hexame- 
 ter verse, — what must be our astonishment at this very dif- 
 ferent sound of the words, arising m';re!y from a different 
 collocation of them, and at the strange varii^ty and ambigu- 
 ity to the ear this difference must occi-^iort \ t 
 
 19. But if this system of quantity among the ancients ap- 
 pear strange and unaccountable, our wonder will not be 
 diminished when we inquire into the nature of their accent. 
 
 20. From what has been said of accent and quantity in 
 our own language, we may conclude them to be essentially 
 distinct and perfectly separable ; nor is it to be doubted that 
 they were equally separable in the learned languages ; in- 
 stances of this from the scholiasts and commentators are 
 innumerable ; but so loose and indefinite are many of their 
 expressions, so little do thi?y seem acquainted with the anal- 
 ysis of the human voice, that a great number of quotations 
 are produced to support the most opposite and contradictory 
 systems. Thus Vossius, Henninius, and Dr. Gaily, produce 
 -a great number of quotations which seem to confound ac- 
 
 * What exceedingly corroborates this idea of quantity is, 
 the common or doubtful vowels, as they are called ; that is, 
 such as come before a mute and a liquid ; as the first a in 
 patria, the e in rejluo, &c. ; as in these words the vowel pre- 
 •■eding the mute and liquid is either long or shoj-t, as the 
 iviiter or speaker pleases to make it ; but if the consonants 
 naturally retarded the sound of the syllable, so as to make 
 it long, how could this be ? If the syl.able were to be made 
 long, did the speaker dwell longer on the consonants, and 
 'if it were to be made short, did he hurry them over? And 
 ditl this make the difference m the quantity of these sylla- 
 bles ? The utter impossibility of conceiving this to have 
 been the case renders it highly probable that the long or 
 short quantity lay only in the vowel. 
 
 t See this idea of the different soimds of words, when 
 taken singly, and when in composition, most excellently 
 treated by the author of the Qreek and Latin Prosodies^ at- 
 tributed to the present bishop of St. Asaph, p. 101.

 with each other for whole pages about the sense of a word 
 In Dlonysius of Halicarnassus, upon the difference betwi-en 
 Ringing and speaking sounds, when this differt^nce is just 
 as open to them, by experimHUt, as it u'as to him? Who can 
 Bufficiently admire the confidcmce of Isaac Vossius, who 
 says, — " In cantu latius evagart sonos, qunrn in rccitatione 
 aut communi git;imone, utpoti' in quo vitinsiim hab^^iatur, si 
 vox ultra diapente^ ^e\x tres tijios et '^einiLiinum, acuatur."

 ^ Thus Priscian : "In unaquaqns partr- oratinnis arsis 
 et tketis sunt velut in hac parte naturn .- tti quanthi dice nnfn, 
 elevaturvox et est ar-ds m lit; quiinfUi veio /*j,d' prJiriitur

 icript in of the rising and falling of the voice upon fhis 
 urori that i*. could on y be pronounced one way, and that 
 
 cent and quantity, by making the acute accent and on| 
 quantity signify the same ; while Michaelis, Melaacthon 
 Forster, Primat, and many other men of learning, produce 
 clouds of witnesses from the ancients to prove that accent 
 and quantity are essentially different. J The only thing they 
 seem to agree in is, that the acute accent always raises the 
 syllable on which it is placed higher than any other in the 
 word.§ This is certainly true, in English pronuri';iation, if 
 we pronounce the word singly, and terminate it as if til 
 other were to follow j but if we pronounce it in a sentence, 
 where it is the last accented word but one, or where it is a! 
 the end of a question beginning with a verb, when we sus 
 pend the voice in expectation of an answer, we then find 
 the latter syllables of the word, though unaccented, are pro- 
 nounced higher than the accented syllable in the former part 
 of the word. — See No. 7. 
 
 21. But what are we to think of their saying that every 
 monosyllable is either acuted or circumflexed .f" || If the 
 acute accent signify an elevation of voice, this, with respeC 
 to words of one syllable, must mean elevated above some 
 other word either preceding or succeeding, since elevation 
 is a mere comparative word ; but this is not once mentioned 
 by them -, if it have any meaning, therefore, it must imply 
 that the acute accent is the monosyllable, pronounced with, 
 what I should call, the rising- inflection or upward slide ; and 
 then we can comprehend how a monosyllable may have the 
 acute accent without reference to any other word ; as when 
 we begin a syllable low, and slide it higlier, or begin it 
 high, and slide it lower, it may be said to be acute or grave 
 of itself J tliat is, when it is pronounced alone, and inde- 
 pendent of other words. Unless we adopt tliis definition 
 of the acute and grave, it will be impossible to conceive 
 whnt the old grammarians mean when they speak of amon 
 osyllable having the grave or the acute accent. Thus Dio- 
 medes says, on some words changing their accent, — "Si 
 post cum gravi pronunciatur accentu, erit prEEpositio; si 
 acuto, erit adverbium, ut long^o post tempore vcni." 
 
 93. ft was a canon, in th« prosody of the Greeks and Ro- 
 mans, that woT'ls of more than one syllable must have eithei 
 an acute or a cirrutnflex accent ; and that the otlier sylla 
 bles, without an accent, were to be accounted grave ; but H 
 this be so, what are we to think of those numerous mono- 
 syllables, and the final syllables of those dissyllables, that 
 wo may see marked with the grave accent, as, IVU)', t/k), 
 o-Tjc, Beo?, 'Arijpj K. T. X. ? *■ Why, these words," says Mr 
 Forster, "whatever Dr. G^lly may conceive, had certainly 
 their elevation on the la-^t syllable;" and this opinion of 
 Mr. Forster is supported by some of the most respectable au- 
 thorities. IT 
 
 93. With respect to the power of the accent in both the 
 Greek and Latin languages, nothing ran be better estab- 
 lished by the ancient grammarians, than that the acuta 
 accent did not lengthen the syllable it fell upon, and thai 
 short syllables, remaining short, had often the acute Mcent 
 This opinion has been irrefutably maintained by Mr. For 
 ster,** and the author of " Obsei'vations on the G^ek and 
 
 there was no difference in the comparative height of the 
 vowel M, in the two following sentences : — 
 
 " Lucretius wrote a book De Rerum JVatura.^^ 
 " Lucretius wrote a book De JsTatura Rerum." 
 Whereas it is evident that the word vatvra is susceptible •■ 
 two different pronunciations : in the first sentence the s}'' 
 lable tu is louder and higher than the last ; and in the sec 
 ond it is louder and lower than the last; and this confound 
 ing of loud with high, and soft with low, seems to be the 
 great stumbling-block both of ancients and moderns. — See

 IT The seeming impossibility of reconciMng accent and 
 quantity made Herman Vanderhardt^ the author of a small 
 treatise entitled Jlrcanum Jlccentumn Qrmcormn^ consider the 
 marks of Greek accentuation as referring not to syllabic, but 
 oratorical, accent. But, as Mr. Forster observes, " If this 
 supposition were true, we should not meet with the same 
 word constantly accented in the same manner as we see it at 
 present. A word's oratorical accent will vnry according to 
 the general sentiment of the passage wherein it occurs ; but 
 its syllabic accent will be invariably the same, indep ndiut 
 of its connection with other words in the same sentence, 
 except in the case of enclitics and a few others." — jEssaif

 Jiatin Prosodies," though as strenuously denied by Dr. Gaily,* 
 Isaac Vossiup, nnd Henninius; and these last seem to have 
 been persuaded of the inseparable concomitancy of the 
 acute accent and long quantity, from the impossibility they 
 iupDoaed there wa? of separating them in any language. 
 Bi.1 if we make oui ears, and not our eyes, judges of quan- 
 tity, can any thing be more palpable than the short quan- 
 (ity of tlie accented syllables of prdselyte, dnodym, tribune^ 
 and inmate, and the long quantity of the final syllables of 
 these words? And when we pronounce the Greek and 
 Latin words, (T^aAXo), fallo, iiiA(l)a), amboj nothing can be 
 more evident than the long quantity of the final vowel, 
 though without the accent, and the short quantity of the 
 initial and accented syllable. 
 
 24. As to the long quantity arising from the succession of 
 two consonants, which the ancients are uniform in assert- 
 ing, if it did not mean that the preceding vowel was to 
 lengthen its sound, as we should do by pronouncing the a 
 in scatter as we do in skater, (one who skates,) 1 have no 
 conception of what it meant jf for if it meant that only 
 the time of the syllable was prolonged, the vowel retaining 
 the same sound, I must confess as utter an inability of com- 
 prehending this source of quantity in the Greek and Latin 
 as ir. English. Banish, banner, and banter, have, to our ears, 
 the arst syllable equally short; the same maybe observed 
 flf semate, seminary, sentence, and sentiment; and if, as an in- 
 genious critic X has asserted, the ancients pronounced both 
 t|ae consonants in callidus,fallo, &c.,' — that is, finishing one 
 Z, by separating the tongue from the palate, before the other 
 is begun, — such a pronunciation mu.st necessarily augment 
 the number of syllables, nearly as if written caleUdus,faleio, 
 &c., and is therefore contrary to all the rules of ancient 
 prosody ; nor would this pronunciation to our ears give the 
 least length to the preceding vowel, any more than the suc- 
 ceeding mute does in sentence and sentiment. 
 
 25. When these observations on the accent and quantity 
 of the ancients are all put together, shall we wonder that the 
 learned and ingenious author of " Elements of Criticism " $ 
 should go so far as to assert that the dactyls and spondees 
 of hexameter vt-rse, with respect to pronunciation, are 
 merely ideal, not only with us, but that they were so witJi 
 the ancients themselves? Few, however, will adopt an 
 opinion which will necessarily imply that the Greek and 
 Latin critics were utterly ignorant of the nature of their 
 own language ; and every admirer of those excellent wl-iters 
 will rather embrace any explanation of accent and quantity, 
 than give up Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Cicero, Q,uintil- 
 ian, and Longinus. Suppose then, as a last refuge, we 
 were to try to read a Greek or Latin verse, both by accent 
 
 stead of giving an acute to the first, according to our present 
 marks ; I would, conformably to these marks, just touch 
 the higher key for the initial a, and take my finger oft" im- 
 mediately ; and then touch the lower key, on whii:h I would 
 dwell longer than I did on the higher, and that would give 
 me a grave with a long time for the syllable ei ; the same 
 lower key I would just touch again, and instantly l^ave it, 
 which would give me a grave with a short tune for 6c -. auf^e. 
 Now, if this can be done on a wind instrument, within the 
 narrow compass of two notes, it may be done by the organs 
 of human speech, which are of the nature of a wind instru- 
 ment, in ordinary pronunciation. For the sounds of our 
 voice, in common speech, differ from those of such musical 
 instruments, not in quality, but in arithmetical discrete 
 quantity or number only, as hath been observed before, and 
 is confirmed by the decisive judgment of tliat nice and dis- 
 cerning critic, Dionysius of Halicainassus. Here then is, 
 to demonstration, an acute tone consistent witti a short 
 time, and a grave tone with a long one." pp. 342, 343. To 
 this I may add the observation made by the author of the 
 " Essay on the Harmony of Language : " " Strange it seems, 
 that the author of this passage should maintain an opinion 
 60 contrary to truth, so repugnant to his own purpose, so 
 belied by daily and hourly experience, as that the union of 
 the acute tone with a short quantity seldom occurs in Eng- 
 lish pronunciation, and is hardly practicable by an English 
 voice." And still more strange, I may add, is it, that these 
 two authors should not see that the experiment, which is 
 called a demonstration, has nothing to do with the point in 
 question. It regards tones that rise or fall by perceptible 
 intervals, and not such as rise or fall by slides or imptircep- 
 tible ones. Let it once be allowed that the Greeks and 
 Romans sung their language, instead of speaking it, and 
 then the acute or gi-ave accent, with long or short quantity, 
 is" easily conceived ; but it is not about mu:?!ical, but speak- 
 ing tones that we inquire; and though the authority of 
 Dionysius of Halicarnassus is cited for the nature of the 
 speaking voice, as distinct, in degree only, and not in kind, 
 from singing, 1 boldly assert that this is not matter of au- 
 thority, but of experiment, and that singing and speaking 
 ftreijis distinct as motion and rest. It is true, some motion 
 may be so plow as not to be perceived ; but then it is to be 
 considered as lest; as a curve may approach so near to a 
 riffht line as not to be disfingui?hable from it; hut n these

 and quantity, in the manner they have prescribed, and sea 
 what such a trial will produce. 
 
 26. By quantity, let us suppose the vowel lengthened t« 
 express the long quantity; and by the acute accent, tlw 
 rising inllection, aa explained above.

 27. Now there are but four possible ways of pronouncing 
 these verses without going into a perfect song ; |[ one is, to 
 pronounce the accented syllable with the falling inllectitai 
 and the unaccented syllable with the same iiillection in a 
 lower tone, which is the way we pronounce our own 
 words when we give them the accent with the falling 
 inflection; the second is, to pronounce the accented yylla- 
 ble with the rising inflection, and the unaccented syllables 
 with the same inflection in a lower tone, which we neve, 
 hear in our own language ; the third is, to pronounce the 
 accented syllable with the falling inflection, and the unac 
 cented syllables with the rising, in a lower tone; and the 
 fourth, to pronounce the accented syllable with the rising 
 inflection, and the unaccented with tlie falling, in a lower 
 tone. None of these modes but the first and last do we 
 ever hear in our own language; the second and third seem 
 too difiicult to permit us to suppose that they could be tii« 
 natural current of the human voice in any language. The 
 first leaves us no possible means of explaining the circum 
 flex ; but the last, by doing this, gives us th° strongest rea 
 son to suppose that the Greek and Latin acute accent was 
 the rising inflection, and the grave accent the falling inflec 
 tion, in a lower tone. 
 
 28. But if the reader were sufficiently acquainted with 
 these inflections of voice, or could be present while I ex- 
 emplified them to him, I doubt not that he would imme 
 diately say it was impossible so monotonous a pronunciatior. 
 
 cases, where the senses, and not the understanding, are ad- 
 dressed, things are to be estimated for just what the srn^esi 
 value them at. De non apparentibus, et de nun existentibus, 
 eadem est ratio. 
 
 * If the acute accent, or stress, as Dr. Gaily calls it, made 
 the short syllable iong, what becomes of the metre of 
 verse ? How will he scan " Arma virumque cano " ? 
 
 I If the double consonants naturally made a syllable 
 long, I should be glad to know hcrtv there could be excep- 
 tions to this rule. How could Ammonius say that the sec- 
 ond syllable of hdrayna was long, when the word was used 
 in one particular sense, and short in another? And how 
 could Cicero say that the first letter of indijtiLS was short, 
 and the first of Insaiius and infelix long, if two succeeding 
 consonants naturally lengthened the syllable? Dr. Forster, 
 indeed, attempts to reconcile this contradiction, by observ- 
 ing that Cicero does not say the first syllable of 'inclytii.^ is 
 short, but the first letter; but it may be demanded, What ia 
 it that makes the syllable long or short, but the length or 
 shortness of the vowel? If the doulde constuiants neces- 
 sarily retard the sound of the vowel, the second syllable o 
 Kdrayjia, and the first of inclytus, could not pnssibly le 
 pronounced short ; and particularly the latter w rd couid 
 not be so pronounced, as it has the accent on the first svi 
 lable. See sect. 16, in the Note.

 II This, I may be bold to say, is coming to the point at 
 once, without hiding our ignorance, by supposing tliat the 
 ancients had soniu mysterious way of pronouncing, which 
 we are utterly incapable of conceiving. JMr. Sheridan telia 
 us that "the ancients did observe the distinction of accenti 
 by an elevation and depression of voice; l^ut the manner 
 in which they did it must remaui fur ever a sticret to Ud ; for 
 with the living tongue perished the tones alsr. wliich we in 
 vain endeavor to seek for in their visible mark^." — Lccinrei 
 on Elocution, 4to. edition, p. 39. From thssi' and similar 
 observations in many of our writers, one wo\iId be tempted 
 to imagine that the organs of speaking in anc;ient Gr.^ece 
 and Rome were totally different from those of thf |.mbi.int 
 race of men in Europe.

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN ACCENT 
 
 eould be that of the Greeks and Romans;* but when we 
 consider the monotony of the Scotch, Welsh, and Irish, 
 why shculd we wonder that other nations should be as 
 monotonous? Let us view the Greek and Latin pronuncia- 
 tion on which side we will, we must, to be consistent with 
 their own rules, feel them to be extremely monotonous. 
 According to the laws of ancient prosody, every unaccented 
 syllable must be lower than that which is accented ; and if 
 so, a most disagreeable monotony must necessarily ensue j 
 for as every word in Latin, and almost every word in 
 Greek, of more than one syllable, ended with the grave 
 accent, — that is, in a lower tone than the preceding sylla- 
 bles, — almost every word in those languages ended with 
 the same tone, let that tone have been what it would.f 
 29. I am supported in this conjecture, notwithstanding all 
 the fine things J the ancients, and many of the moderns, 
 say of the variety and harmony of tlie Greek and Latin 
 languages, by the definition which they give of the circum- 
 flex accent; which is, that it was a combination of the 
 acute and grave upon the same syllable. This is so incom- 
 prehensible to modern ears, that scarcely any one but the 
 author of the present Observations has attempted to explain 
 it by experiment. It stands for nothing but long quantity in 
 all our schools ; and, contrary to the clearest testimonies of 
 antiquity, it has, by Dr. Gaily ,$ and a late respectable writer 
 on the " Greek and Latin Prosodies," been explained away 
 into nothing more than the acute accent. But if it means a 
 raising and falling of the voice upon the same syllable, 
 which is the definition the ancients uniformly give of it, it 
 is just as easy to conceive as raising and falling the voice 
 upon successive syllables ; or, in otiier words, as going from 
 a lower tone to a higher upon one syllable, and from a 
 higher to a lower upon the next; and this consideration 
 leads me to conjecture that the acute accent of the ancients 
 was really the rising inflection, or upward slide of the 
 voice ; for this being once supposed, nothing is so easy as to 
 demonstrate the circumflex in our own language, which, 
 
 * Dr. Burney tells us that Meibomius, the great and 
 learned Meibomius, when prevailed upon, at Stockholm, to 
 sing Greek strophes, set the whole court of Christina in a 
 roar, as Naude did in executing a Roman dance. And Scal- 
 iger observes, that if the nice tonical pronunciation of the 
 ancients could be expressed by a modern, it would be disa- 
 greeable to our ears. 
 
 t This is certainly too general an assertion, if we con- 
 aider the real pronunciation of the Greek language accord- 
 ing to accent ; as it must be allowed that a great number of 
 Greek words were accented with the acute or circumflex on 
 the last syllable. But when we consider the modern pro- 
 nunciation of Greek, which confounds it with the Latin, 
 we shall not have occasion to recall the assertion. To which 
 we may add, that those words in Greek that were circum- 
 flexed on the last syllable, may very properly be said to end 
 with the grave accent ; and that those which had a grave 
 upon the final syllable altered the grave to an acute only 
 when they were pronounced alone, when they cams before 
 an enclitic, or when they were at tifie end of the sentence. 
 
 X The Grecian sage, (says Dr. Burney,) according to 
 Gravina, was at once a philosopher, a poet, and a musician. 
 "In separating these characters," says he, "they have all 
 been weakened ; the system of philosophy has been con- 
 tracted ; ideas have failed in poetry, and force and energy 
 in song. Truth no longer subsists among mankind; the 
 philosopher speaks not, at present, through the medium of 
 poetry, nor is poetry heard any more through the vehicle of 
 melody." — "Now, to my apprehension," says Dr. Burney, 
 " the reverse of all this is exactly true ; for, by being sepa- 
 rated, each of these professions receives a degree of cultiva- 
 tion which fortifies and renders it more powerful, if not 
 more illustrious. The music of ancient philosophers, and 
 he philosophy of modern musicians, I take to he pretty 
 equal in excellence." — History of MasiCj vol. i. p. 162. 
 Here we see good sense and sound philosophy contrasted 
 with the blind admiration and empty flourish of an over- 
 grown schoolboy concluding his theme. 
 
 $ " Dissertation against Greek Accents," p. 53. 
 
 II To add to our astonishment, that the Greek and Latin 
 languages had but one circumflex, what can be more won- 
 derful than that, among so many of the ancients who have 
 written on the causes of eloquence, and who have descend- 
 ed to such trifling and childish observations upon the im- 
 portance of letters and syllables, we should not find a single 
 author who has taken notice of the importance of empha- 
 sis upnn a e'.ngle wordi' Our modern booics of elocution 
 abound with instances of the change produced in the sense 
 of a sentence by changing the place of the emphasis ; but 
 no suci instance appears among the ancients; not one

 Our wonder will increase, when we consider that the 
 anctent^ frL-qiiently mKntion the different meaningof a word 
 A^ it v'-is diffi^rnntly accented ; that is, as the acute or cir- 
 tumfinx was pl;iced upon one syllable or another; but they 
 ftuvei liint tJiat the sense of a sentence is altered by an cm- 
 
 without this clew, it will be impossible to do m the anciert 
 languages ; and even with it, we must be astonished the> 
 had but one circumflex ; since it is just as easy to fall and 
 raise the voice upon the same syllable as to raise and fall it.y 
 
 30. But our wonder at these peculiarities of the Greek 
 and Latin languages will cease, when we tarn our thoughts 
 to the dramatic performances of the people who spoke these 
 languages. Can any thing astonish us more, than that all 
 their tragedies and comedies were set to music, and actually 
 accompanied by musical instruments.'' How is our laugh- 
 ter, as well as our wonder, excited, when we are told that 
 sometimes one actor gesticulated while another recited a 
 speech, and that the greater admiration was bestowed upon 
 the former ! Nay, to raise the ridicule to the highest pitch 
 we are informed that actors in tlitir speeches, and the 
 chorus in their songs, accompanied their performances by 
 dancing ; that the actors wore masks lined with brass, to 
 give an echoing sound to the voice, and that these masks 
 were marked with one passion on one side, and with a con- 
 trary passion on the other; and that the actor turned tha 
 side to the spectators which corresponded to the passion Oi 
 the speech he was reciting. These extraordinary circum- 
 stances are not gathered from obscure passages of the an 
 cients, picked up here and there, but are brought to us by 
 the general and united voice of all antiquity ; and therefore 
 however surprising, or even ridiculous, they may seem, ara 
 undoubtedly true 
 
 31. Perhaps it will be said, Is it possible that those who 
 have left us such proofs of their good sense and exquisit? 
 taste in their writings, statues, medals, and seals, could be 
 so absurd in their dramatic representations? The thing is 
 wonderful, it may be answered ; but not more so than thai 
 they should not have seen the use of stirrups in riding, oi 
 the polarity of the loadstone in sailing, and of several othei 
 modern discoveries, which seem to have stared them full in 
 the face without their perceiving it.lT But is there any thing 
 more common than to find not only individuals, but a whole 
 
 phasis being placed upon different words. The ambiguity 
 arising from the same word being diflTerently accented is so 
 happily exemplified by the author of the " Greek and Latin 
 Prosodies," that I shall use his words : "jSlexaader Aphra- 
 disiensis Dlustrates this species of sophism by a well-chosen 
 example of a law in which the sense depends entirely upon 
 the accuracy of accentuation. 'ETOi/aa xp'^^'^i'^ «' 0opciJl 
 driiidcia etrrr.). The word dvii^oia,, with the acute accent 
 upon the antepenult, is the neuter nominative plural, in ap- 
 position with xp'^'^'-'^' And the sense is, ' If a courtesan 
 wear golden trinkets, let them (viz., her golden trinkets) 
 be forfeited to the public use.' But if the accent be ad- 
 vanced to the penult, the word, without any other change, 
 becomes the feminine nominative singular, and must ba 
 taken in apposition with traipa. And thus the sense will 
 be, *If a courtesan wear golden trinkets, let her become 
 public property.' This is a very notable instance of the 
 political importance of accents, of written accents, in tlie 
 Greek language. For if this law had been put in writing, 
 without any accent upon the word (Jr//*i5(7ni, there would 
 have been no means of deciding between two constructions, 
 either of which the words, in this state, would equally 
 have admitted J and it must have remained an inexplicable 
 doubt, whether the legislator meant that the poor woman 
 should only forfeit her trinkets, or become a pubUc slave." 
 
 M We have the strongest proof in the world, that the 
 ancient Greeks made use only of capital letters, that they 
 were utterly ignorant of punctuation, and that there waa 
 not the least space betwei-n words or sentences, but tliat 
 there was an equal continuation of letters, which the reader 
 was obliged to decipher, without any assistance from points 
 or distances. Without the clearest evidt-nce, could we sup- 
 pose that, while composition had reached the perfection i! 
 had done in Greece, orthography was in a state of barbarity 
 worthy of the Cape of Good Hope ? 
 
 Can any thing give us a more ludicrous idea than the 
 practice of the ancients in sometimes splitting a word a 
 the end of the line, and commencing the next line with th 
 latter part of the word ? This must have been nearly a 
 ridiculous as the following English verses, in imitation t 
 this absurd practice: — 
 
 Pyrrhus, you tempt a danger high, 
 When you would steal from angry li- 
 Oness her cubs, and soon shall fly 
 
 ingloricti' 
 
 For know the Romans, you shall find 
 By virtue more and generous kind- 
 Ness, than by force or fortune blind,

 Notwithstanding the hackneyed epithet of G< tbic barbaniy 
 applied to verse in rhyme, is it not wonderfu iliat a spr^iei 
 of versification, approved by Italy, France, and England, in 
 their best periods of poetry, should never once have been 
 tried by the Greeks and Romans? — that they should nevei 
 have straggled, either by chance or for tl"? sake of chanj;*

 people, who, though remarkably excellent in 9 )me things,

 tion of Middleton, who, speaking of those who have written 
 on the pronunciation of the Greek and Latin langiia^es, 
 Bays, "Ab iJlis vro scriptoribus etsi plurima ingeniose 
 Btque erudite disputata sint, nonnulla tamen deesse, multa

 39. That singing a part in a tragedy should seem so un- 
 natural* to us, arises chiefly from our being so little accus- 
 tomed to it. Singing in the pulpit seems to thg full as 
 extraordinary j and yet this song was so powerful about a 
 century or two ago, and later in Scotland,! as to make mere 
 Bpeaking, though with the utmost energy, appear flat and 
 insipid. Let the human voice be but in a fine tone, and let 
 this tone be intensely impassioned, and it will infallibly, as 
 Milton expresses it, 
 
 (c take the prisoned soul, 
 
 And lap it in Elysium ." 
 
 33. What may tend to reconcile us still more to this dra- 
 matic music, is the sing'-son^ manner, as it is called, of 
 pronouncing tragedy, which very generally prevailed before 
 the time of Mr. Garrick, and which now prevails among 
 some classes of speakers, and is preferred by thsra to what 
 we call the more natural manner. This drawling, undulat- 
 ing pronunciation is what the actors generally burlesque by 
 repeating the line, 
 
 Tum ti turn ti, tum ti tum ti turn ti ; 
 and though this mode of declamation is now so much de- 
 
 Into so pleasing a jingle of sounds ? They who would write 
 poems, and so lengthen or shorten the lines as to form axes, 
 wings, and altars, might, without any imputation on their 
 taste, have, now and then, cnndescended to rhyme. In 
 ehort, that the ancients should never have slid into rhyme, 
 is a circumstance which would never have been believed, 
 bad it been possible to doubt it ; and I fear it must be classed 
 with that long catalogue of unaccouu tables, with which 
 their prosody, their rhetoric, and their drama, abound. 
 
 * Perhaps our unwillingness to believe that the ancient 
 dramas were set to music, arises from a very mistaken no- 
 tion we have of their skill in that art. It is true we have 
 not the same materials for judging of their music as we 
 have of their poetry and sculpture; but their ignorance of 
 counterpoint, and the poverty of their instruments, suffi- 
 ciently show what little progress they had made in it. 
 Those very few remains of their music which h:ive reached 
 Qs, confirm us in tliis conjerture ; and it is to the indefati- 
 gable pains of so good a scholar and so excellent a musician 
 us Dr. Burney, that we are indebted for an illustration of it. 
 
 " At the end of a Greek edition of the astronomical poet 
 Aratus, called PJuBnotnena," says Dr. Burney, "and their 
 Scholia, published at Oxford in ]762, the anonymous editor, 
 supposed to be Dr. John Fell, among several other pieces, has 
 enriched the volume with three hymns, which he supposed 
 to have been written by a Greek poet called Dinnysius ; of 
 which the first is addressed to the muse Calliope, the second 
 to Apollo, and the third to Nemesis; and these hymns are 
 accompanied with the notes of ancient music to which they 
 used to be sung. 
 
 'I know not whether justice has been done to these 
 melodies ; all I can say is, that no pains have been spared 
 to place them in the clearest and inost favorable point of 
 view; and yet, with all the advantages of modern notes 
 and modern measures, if I had betn told that they came 
 from the Cheroket^s or the Hottentots, I should not have 
 been surprised at their excellence. 
 
 "I have tried them in every key and in every measure 
 that the fet^t of the verses would allow ; and as it has buen 
 the opinion of some that the Greek scale and music should 
 be read Hebrew-wise, I have even inverted the order of the 
 notes, but without being able to augment their j;race and 
 elegance. The most charitable supposition that can be 
 admitted concerning them is, that the Greek language, be- 
 ing itself accentuated and sonorous, wanted less assistance 
 from musical refinements than one that was more harsh 
 and rough ; and music being still a slave to poetry, and 
 wholly governed by its feet, derived all its merit and effects 
 from the excellence of the verse, and sweetness of the voice 
 that sung, or rather recited it ; for inelliduous and affecting 
 TOices nature bestows, from time to time, on some gifted 
 mortals in nil the habitable regions of tha earth ; and even 
 the natural eff'usions of these must ever have been heard 
 with delieht. But, a.i music, there needs no other proof of 
 the poverty of ancient melody, than its being confined to 
 Ion" and short syllables. We have snme airs of ths most 
 graceful and pleasing kind, which wilt suit no arrangement 
 of syllables to be foiind in any poetical numbers, ancient or 
 modern, and which it is impossible to express, by mere syl- 
 lab'ea, in any language with which I am at all arquainted " 
 
 spised, it is highlj probable thai it was fiimcrly held in 
 estimation.^ 
 
 34. Now, if we suppose this drawling pronunciation, 
 which, though very sonorous, is precisely ffpcaJung, and 
 essentially different from singing; — if we suppose this to 
 have been the conversation pronunciation of the Greeki 
 and Romans, it may possibly throw some light upon thfl 
 manner in which they pronounced by accent and qiiauiit/ 
 at the same time; for though we can sufficiently conceiv* 
 that, in common speaking in our own language, wc 
 can make the accented syllable short, and the unaccent- 
 ed syllable long, as in the words qual\fij^ spp.cify, elbuw, 
 inmatej &c., yet in the diawling pronunciatiuu we havo 
 been speaking of, the long unaccented voweia in these 
 words are made much longer, and consequently more per 
 ceptible. 
 
 35. But if the accent of our language be so different fron. 
 that of the Greek and Latin, our pronunciation must necea 
 sarily be very different likewise. The acute accent of the 
 ancients being always higher than either the preceding or 
 succeeding syllables, and our accent, though always higher 
 than the preceding, being sometimes lower than the suc- 
 ceeding syllables, (see sect. 7.,) there must certainly be a 
 wide difference between our pronunciation and theirs Let 
 us, however, explain the Greek and Latin accent as we wiU, 
 — let it be by singing, drawling, or common speaking, — it 
 will be impossible to tell how a monotony could he avoided, 
 when almost every word of more than one syllable in these 
 languages, must necessarily have ended in the same tonej 
 or, if you will, with the same grave accent.^ 
 
 36. After all, that the Greeks and Romans, in explaining 
 the causes of metrical and prosaic harmony, should some^ 
 times descend to such minute particulars]] as appear to ua 
 
 Dr. Burney's conjecture, that the Greek music was entire 
 ly subservient to verse, accounts for the little attention 
 which was paid to it in a separate state ; it accounts for tha 
 effects with which their music was accompanied, and fui 
 the total uselessness of counterpoint. Simple melody is the 
 fittest music to accompany words, when we wish to under- 
 stand what is sung : simple melody is the music of the 
 great bulk of mankind ; and simple melody is never under 
 valued till the ear have been sufficiently disciplined to dis- 
 cover the hidden melody, which is still essential to the moal 
 complicated and elaborate harmony. 
 
 t The Rev. Mr. Whitefield was a highly animated and 
 energetic preacher, without the least tincture of that tone 
 which is called canting. When he went to Scotland, where 
 this tone was in high estimation, though his doctrine 
 was in perfect unison with that of his auditors, his simple 
 and natural, though earnest, manner of speaking waa 
 looked upon, at first, as a great defect. He wanted, they 
 said, the holy tone. 
 
 t This cant, which, though disgustful now tc all but mere 
 rustics, on account of its being out of fashion, was very 
 probably the favorite modulation in which heroic verse* 
 were recited by our ancestors. So fluctuating are the taste 
 and practices of mankind ! But whether the power o( 
 language have received any advantage from the change just 
 mentioned, (namely, pronouncing words in a mure simple 
 manner), will appear at least very doubtful, when we recol- 
 lect the stories of its former triumi)hs, and the inherent 
 charms of musical sounds. — T/ie Jlrt qf delivering Written

 ^ Where was all that endless variety with which the 
 moderns puff off the Greek language, when it hud but one 
 circumflex.'' The human voice is just as capable of falling 
 and rising upon the same syllable as rising and falling ; and 
 why so palpable a combination of sounds as the former 
 should be utterly unknown to the Greeks and Lathis, caa 
 be resolved into nothing but (horresco referens 1) their ig 
 norance of the principles of human spr^ech.

 It is an observation of Chambers, autho of the " Cyclopae 
 dia," that nonsense sounds worse in the h ?lish than in any 
 other language. Let us try the experiint t by translating 
 the above passage : — Nor did Demosthenet think it below 
 him to leave the company of the most resp;^' able people oj 
 Athens, and go to the dogs, in order to learn Voni them the 
 nature of the letter r, and, by observing tli • siiund they 
 gave it, to imitate, as much as was necessary, vheir mannei 
 of pronouncing it.

 OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREEK AND LATIN VCCENT. 
 
 trifling and imaginary, and at the same lime neglect things 
 which appear to ua so essential j that they Bhould be so 
 dark, and sometimes so contradictory, in their account of 
 accent and quantity, as to furnish opposite systems among 
 the modems, with ample quotations in favor of each ; — is 
 this more wonderful than that Mr. Sheridan,* who was so 
 good an actor, and who had spent so much time in studying 
 and writing on elocution, should say that accent was only 
 a louder pronunciation of the accented syllable, and not a 
 higher. But as thia same Mr. Sheridan, in his Art of Read- 
 ingy has excellently observed, that our perception of Latin 
 quantity is imaginary, and arises not from the ear, but only 
 from association, like spelling, so it may be observed, that 
 the confusion and obscurity which reign among all our 
 writers on accent and quantity, seem to arise from an ideal 
 perception of long quantity produced by double consonants ; 
 from confounding stress and quantity, which are so totally 
 
 * "The Scotchman utters the first syllable of batde, bor^ 
 rowy habit, in the middle tone, dwelling on the vowel ; and 
 Ibe second with a sudden elevation of the voice, and short; 
 as, ba-tlBj bdvrriSy hd-biu The Englishman utters both sylla- 
 bles without any perceptible change of tone, and in equal 
 time; as, fiat'tle, bar'row, Itab'tV^—AH of Reading, p. 77. 
 The smallest degree of attention might have taught Mr. 
 Sheridan that, though this is tiie prevailing, it is not the in- 
 variable, pronunciation of a Scotchman ; and that this ele- 
 vation of voice, though more perceptible in a Scotchman, 
 from ^ia drawling out his tones, is no less real in an Eng- 
 lishman, who pronounces them quicker, and uses them less 
 frequently ; that is, he mixes the downward inflection with 
 rhem, which produces a variety. But these two inflections 
 of voice Mr. Sheridan was an utter stranger to. — See Ele~ 
 ments of Elocution, part ii. p. 183. 
 
 t Nothing is more fallacious than that perception we seem 
 to have of the sound of words being expressive of the ideas, 
 and becoming, as Pope calls it, an echo to t/ie sense. This 
 coincidence, as Dr. Johnson observes in one of his Ram- 
 blers, seldom exists any where but in the imagination of 
 She reader. Drydcn, who often wrote as carelessly as he 
 thought, and often thought as carelessly as he lived, began 
 a commendation of the sweetness and smoothness of two 
 lises of DenJiam in pra se of the Thames — 
 
 different; and from mistaking loud for high, and soft few 
 low, contrary to the clearest definitions of each,| 
 
 37. But till the human voice, which is the same in al 
 ages and nations, be more studied and better under.JtiKid 
 and till a notation of speaking sounds be adopted, [ d'-^piir 
 of convej'ing ray ideas of tliis subject with sufficient cl .-ir- 
 ness upon paper. I have, however, marked such an outline 
 as may be easily filled up by those who study speaking 
 with half the attention they mu^t do music. From an en- 
 tire conviction that the ancients had a notation of speaking 
 sounds, and from the actual experience of having fanned 
 one myself, I think I can foresee that some future philu;siipli- 
 ical inquirer, with more learning, more leisure, and m-jre 
 credit with the world, than I have, will be able to unravtii 
 this mystery in letters, which has so long been the uppnt 
 brium et cruz grainmaticorum, — the reproach and torment o( 
 grammarians. 
 
 " Though deep, yet clear, though gentle^ yet not dull j 
 Strong without rage, without o'erflowmg full ; " 
 
 and this commendation . ^ Dryden's has been echoed by all 
 subsequent writers, who have taken it for granted thai 
 there is a flow in the lines similar to that of the object 
 described ; while the least attention to those stops so neces- 
 sary on the accented and antithetic words will soon con- 
 vince us that, however expressive the lines may be, they 
 are as rugged and as little musical as almost any in the 
 language. 
 
 A celebrated critic observes, " I am apt to think the har- 
 mony of the verse was a secret to Mr. Dryden ; since it is 
 evident he was not acquainted with the ceesural stops, by 
 which all numbers are harmonized. Dr. Bentley has ob 
 served, the beauty of the second verse consists in the ictus 
 that sounds on the first syllable of the verse, which, in 
 English heroics, should sound on the second ; for this verse 
 is derived from the Trimeter Iambic^ Brackycatalectic." —

KEMARKS 
 
 PRONUNCIATION OF MODERN GEOGEAPHICAL NAJIIE8. 
 
 Thb pronunciation of geographical names is a very dii&cult branch ol orthoepy. These namei 
 pertain to all parts of the globe ; their vernacular or native pronunciation is regulated or affected by 
 every variety of -anguage ; and it would be impossible to represent, in all cases, the native pronuD 
 ciation by any combination of English letters. 
 
 There are a great many names, respecting the pronunciation of which it is difficult to determine 
 how far the English analogy should be allowed to prevail over the analogy of the languages to 
 which the words respectively belong. If we look for authorities for the pronunciation of these 
 names, we find comparatively few ; and such authorities as exist embrace but a small part of the 
 words of this class ; and there is also much disagreement among orthoSpists with respect to the 
 pronunciation of such of these names as they undertake to pronounce. 
 
 With regard to the geographical names which pertain to all the countries in which the English 
 .anguage is spoken, including the British empire in Europe, the United States, and the British 
 provinces generally, their pronunciation is, of course, conformed, for tlie most part, to the analogy 
 of the English language. In addition to these, all the geographical names which belong to other 
 parts of the globe, but which have become Anglicized by having changed their native form and 
 assumed an English orthography, are also conformed to the general principles of English pronun- 
 ciation. The most common geographical names, such as those which relate to the great divisions 
 of the globe, the names of the countries, kingdoms, states, principal cities, &c., are differently 
 written, as well as differently pronounced, in different languages. The following table exhibits a 
 few examples of this diversity, by way of illustration : —

 There can be no doubt but that geographical names, which assume such different forms in differ- 
 ent languages, should be pronounced differently by the inhabitants of different countries, and in 
 accordance with the analogies of their respective languages. All the common geographical names, 
 •uch as are familiar to all intelligent persons, have become more or less Anglicized, and their pro- 
 nunciation is more or less conformed to the English analogy. Many of these words may be 
 considered as perfectly Anglicized, and are pronounced as common English words ; but there 
 are many that are only partially Anglicized, and with regard to such, it is often difficult to deter 
 mine how far, in pronouncing them, the English analogy should bp allowed to prevail ove 
 Ibat of the language to which the words properly belong. 
 
REMARKS ON THE PRONUNCIATION OF GEOGRAPHICAI NAMES. 943 
 
 Some foreign geographical names are introduced into the English language without changing 
 nieir orthography, but are, nevertheless, in their pronunciation, conformed to the English analogy 
 The word Paris, for example, an Englishman or an Anglo-American, in speaking hia own Ian- 
 guage, would pronounce, in conformity to it, Par'is ; though, if he were speaking French, ho 
 would pronounce \ipar-e, in conformity with the French language. 
 
 With respect to the class of words which are partially Anglicized, there is a great diversity 
 in the manner of pronouncing them. Some respectable speakers incline to pronounce them, fot 
 the most part, according to the English analogy, while others aspire to pronounce them as they 
 are pronounced in the several languages to which they appertain ; and there are many cases in which 
 it is difficult to determine \rhich is most to be approved, the English or the foreign method ; but a 
 medium between the two extremes may be regarded generally as o, judicious course. A person 
 conversant with foreign languages will be likely to pronounce such words in the foreign manner . 
 while a mere English scholar may be naturally expected and permitted to incline more strongly to 
 the English mode. It may be often desirable to know what the native mode of pronouncing sue'' 
 words ifi, though it may not be advisable, m common use, to adopt it. 
 
 Proper names are more subject to a corrupt pronunciation, or one which is not conformed to the 
 orthography, than common names. A considerable number of the geographical names pertaining 
 to England are pronounced very differently from what their orthography indicates; as, for example, 
 Chertsey and Cirencester, pronounced ches'se and sis'e-ter. Americans are somewhat less inclined 
 to deviate from orthography, in the pronunciation of some words, than the English are. Berwick 
 and Warwick, for example, which are pronounced in En^and ber'ik and wor'ik, are very often 
 pronounced, in the United States, as they are spelled. 
 
 The following Vocabulary was prepared some years since, and annexed to the Comprehensive 
 Dictionary, and to the Elements of Geography, of the author It has now been somewhat enlarged 
 and improved, by further inquiry, and by the examination of various new authorities, particularly 
 Mr. Baldwin's Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer, a. work in which the subject of the proniinciation of 
 geographical names has been attended to with much care and intelligence. Still this Vocabulary, 
 in its present state, is very imperfect. The pronunciation affixed to many of the words may be 
 objected to, as not the most proper. A person much versed in foreign languages will be likely to 
 think that the pronunciation generally has been too much Anglijized ; while a mere English scholar 
 will think it is not sufficiently so ; and both may doubtless make out a plausible case in favor of 
 their respective views. But, defective as it is, it is hoped that it will not be found a useless append 
 t£e to a pronouncing dictionary 
 
 PRINCIPLES 
 
 PRONTJNCIATION OF SEVERAL EUROPEAN LANGUAGES 
 
 The following Rules, reapectmg the pronunciation 
 of certain letters in the principal modern languages of 
 continental F.urope, may be of some use in relation to 
 the pronunciation of names pertaining to the several 
 countries where these languages are spoken, though it 
 may be advisable for a mere English scholar to make 
 but a partial application of them in practice. 
 
 VOWELS. 
 
 ^._The vowel a, in situations m which the anal- 
 «gy of the English language would naturally give it the 
 «ound of long a, has, in the languages of the continent 
 of Europe, what is called the Italian sound, that is, the 
 ■onnd of a in far and father. In other situations, 
 It! sound approaches nearly to its short English sound, 
 to man, fat 
 
 E. — The sound of the vowel e, at the end of an at 
 cented syllable, is the same as that of the English long 
 a, in fate, name. In other situations, it has the sound 
 of the English short e, in met, men. 
 
 I. — The long sound of i, in these languages, is the 
 same as in the English word marine, being the same 
 as the English sound of long e in mete, seen. The short 
 sound is the same as its Enghsh short sound in pm. 
 
 O. — The vowel has the same sounds that it has ir 
 English in the words note, not, and n(yr. 
 
 V. — The vowel u, in most of these languages, has 
 the same sound that it has in English in the worn rvle, 
 being the same as oo in fool, moon; and when short, it 
 has the sound of « in bull, or of oo in good. The sound 
 ofu, in the French language, and also in the Dutch, has 
 no equivalent sound in English ; and it can be learned 
 only by oral instruction. It may be regarded as inter

 PKONUNCIATION OF SEVERAL EUROPhAM LANGUAGES 
 
 mediate b&tween the soun i of long e and oOf partaking 
 of both. 
 
 y. — The vowel y has, in most of these languages, 
 the same sound as i, that is, of long e, as in me ; but in 
 the Dutch language, it has the sound of the English 
 loni; I, in pine. 
 
 DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 aE or ^. — The sound of the diphthong te, m 
 Dutch, is like tlic Englisli sound of a in far; in Ger- 
 man, IE or d like that of the English a, in fate. 
 
 AI. — The sound of the diphthong ai, in French, is 
 like that of the English long a, in fate ; in Italian, 
 Spanish, and Portuguese, like that of the English long 
 I in 'pine. 
 
 A U and EA U. — The diphthong au, and the triph- 
 thong eaUj in French, have the sound of the English 
 long 0, in note; as, Chaumont. (sho-mOng',) Beauvais, 
 (b6-va'.) In Germau, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, 
 the diphthong au has the English sound of ow in now ; 
 as, Avsterlitz, (oOis'ter-lits.) The German diphthongs 
 au and eu have a sound like that of the English diph- 
 thong oi, in toil; as, Neustadt, (nOI'stat.) 
 
 ElaadEY. — The diphth ongs Hand ey, in German, 
 have a sound similar to the English sound of long i, 
 in^Tie; as, Leip'sic. 
 
 EU. — The French diphthong eu has a sound similar 
 to that of the English sound of e in Iier, or u in fur. 
 
 IE. — The diphthong ie, in French, German, Dutch, 
 &c., has the sound of the English long e, in mete; 
 as, Wie'land. 
 
 UE or V. — The sounl of the German diphthong ue 
 or fl is like that of the French u. 
 
 on. — The French diphthong ou has the sound of 
 the English oo, in tool; as, TSu-Ufuse', (t6-lflz'.) 
 
 OE or O. — The sound of the German diphthong 
 oe or G resembles that of the French eu; but it has no 
 equivalent sound in English, and is not easily ex- 
 olained. It may be conceived, in the name of Goethe, 
 or GOthCf thus represented, (guet'ta,) pronounced in 
 two syl/ailes, the sounds of u and of e m her, m the 
 Bra*, rrl atile, being blended together. 
 
 CONSONANTS. 
 
 The sounds of most of the consonants, in tl.e conJi 
 nental languages, are the same as in En^.ish. Some o 
 the principal exceptions are the following ; — 
 
 B. — The sound of 6, in German, at the end of a 
 word, is like that of the English j) ; — in Spanish, bo 
 tween two vowels, similar to v. 
 
 C. — The sound of c, in German, bpfore e, i, and y, 
 is like that of ts lu English ; — in Italian, belbre e and 
 i, like that of c/( in the English word ehi]l ; — in Span- 
 ish, before e and i, like that of ^t in thm, 
 
 D. — The sound of d, in German and Dutch, at the 
 end of a word, is like that of i in English ; — in Danish 
 and Spanish, between two vowels or at the end of §, 
 syllable, like that of th in tliU. 
 
 G. — The souid of g, in French, before t, e, and y, 
 is like that of zl in English ; — in Spanish, before e 
 and ij the same as the Spanish j ; — in Italian, before 
 e and i, like that of g in the English word gem, or j in 
 jet ; — in German, at the beginning of words, it is hard, 
 like g in get; and in words ending in gen, it is thrown 
 back on the penultimate syllable j as, Hech'ing-en. 
 
 J. — The sound of J, in French and Portuguese, is 
 like that of zA in English ; — in Spanish, it is like that ol 
 h strongly aspirated ; — in the other languages, like that 
 of y consonant. 
 
 JC. — The sound of X, in Spanish, is like that of A 
 strongly aspirated, being the same as tliat of the Span- 
 ish j, and also of g before e and i. 
 
 Z. — The sound of 2, in German and Swedish, is 
 like that of ts in English; — in Italian, like dz; zz, in 
 Italian, like ts. 
 
 CH. — The sound of the digraph ch, in French ana 
 PortugU3.3e, 18 the same as the English sh, or of ch in 
 chaise ; — in Spanish, the same as ch in the English word 
 chill; — 'n Italian, (as in words from the ancient lan- 
 guages, p^ebraw, Greek, and Latin,) like thai of &. — In 
 German and Dutch, it has a hard, guttural sound, 
 not eaiTilj represented in English, but resembling that 
 of A stroi gly aspirated. It is represented in this V*- 
 cabula'7, is it is id others, by the letter k. 
 
 TH. — The digfjph th, in these several languages, 
 has the sound oft; ^. 7Tteu (tis.)

SUPPLEMENT. 
 
 957 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 This Supplement has been carefully abridged from the larger one preparea 
 for the Quarto Dictionary, and will be found to contain a popular selection of 
 the new terms in art, literature, and science which have of late years been ad- 
 mitted iato the general vocabulary of the language. Such omissions as have 
 been observed in the body of the book have been supplied, fresh definitions have 
 been given of words formerly entered which seemed insufficiently defined or 
 which have acquired new meanings since the publication of the Dictionary, 
 and some attention has been paid to those common words and expressions 
 which, though originally slang, have been dignified with the sanction of uni- 
 versal usage. 
 
 The Supplement contains about two thousand entries, and it ie believed 
 it will be found of great practical convenience and utiliiy.

 ^®~ Words printed in Italics, in the Vocahulaty, 
 are words which belong to foreign languages, and are 
 not properly Anglicized. 
 
 ^^*The two parts of such compound words as 
 are not properly written as simple words are sepa- 
 rated by a lengthened hyphen; as, Bail-joint. The 
 two parts of such words are commonly and properly 
 separated, when written or printed, by a hyphen. 
 
 ^®~The double accent mark, when used in pro- 
 nunciation, denotes that the aspirated sound of the 
 succeeding consonant is thrown back on the preceding 
 syllable ; thus, petV'tion (petish'on). 
 
 ^®~When a cross-reference is followed by Suppl. 
 or Sup., the word is to be looked for in the Supple- 
 ment; when no such indication is given, the refer- 
 ence is to the main text of the Dictionary. 
 
 _^^*A few additional diacritical marks have been 
 introduced. The «, for instance, of such words as 
 annual and putrescent has been distinguished from 
 the K of famous by marking it thus, i. A French u 
 (u) and French n and m nasal (n, m) have also been 
 added.
